Please also provide any other information your classmates might also find useful, such a link to a reunion web site or the name and email/phone number of a reunion contact person.
Use of School Facilities
Derry Township School District may permit community organizations to use district buildings or grounds for approved special events. Inquiries or requests to use district facilities must be made through the Buildings and Grounds Office. The district will process requests on a first-come, first-served basis, except that school groups will be given priority over external groups.
Use of DTSD Athletic Tracks
Derry Township School District’s campus includes two running tracks: a cinder track adjacent to Hershey Elementary School and a gated all-weather track at Hershey High School. Community members wishing to exercise on Derry Township School District-owned running tracks may do so between dawn and dusk when the facilities are not being utilized for school-related activities.
While our campus offers great surroundings for dog walks, exercises, and leisurely strolls, it's crucial to remember that our primary focus is always on providing a safe and conducive learning environment for our students. With classes often held outside and various school activities taking place throughout the day, it's essential that our students have uninterrupted access to school facilities and grounds during school hours.
We kindly ask that community members refrain from using our campus for recreational activities during school hours, especially around areas where classes are conducted outdoors. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated and goes a long way in ensuring the safety and well-being of our students.
Several special provisions apply to the use of the high school track:
- The use of the synthetic turf playing surface is prohibited.
- The following items are not permitted inside the fencing surrounding the track.
- Food
- Gum
- Pets
- Seeds
