Deering High School, established in 1874, turned 150 during the 2023-2024 school year. To celebrate, Deering held a 150th Homecoming celebration in October, which was an opportunity to bring together generations of “Ramilies” (Deering students and families) and alumni. Then, in May, the school held a 150th Open House celebration, which featured tours of the school, a special screening of a documentary about the school produced by Deering’s Film Studies department, and displays of yearbooks dating back through the decades and cherished sports memorabilia. Then, on June 6, the school celebrated a century and a half of excellence in education and community spirit, holding Deering’s 150th commencement exercises for the Class of 2024 at Merrill Auditorium.
