In 1980 a group of Deer Creek patrons felt there was the need for private financial support of the Deer Creek School district. This was partly in response to the lack of any significant commercial/industrial tax base within the school system. This resulted in the formation of the Deer Creek Schools Foundation.

Since that time, the foundation's primary mission has been to fund special academic projects from Deer Creek teachers that were submitted for approval to the Foundation. Fund raising has always been the primary mission of the DCSF. This has been accomplished primarily by solicitation of Deer Creek patrons for tax deductible contributions.
