Deuel Touch Wall
We are excited to have launched a digital archive with an interactive touch screen now located in the trophy case outside the competition gym at Deuel School. This touch screen has been in the making for several years. Initially the project started with preserving and presenting the high school senior composites in the new addition. We will now be able to honor and archive our academic, athletic, and extracurricular achievements and history of our school district.
The contents can not only be enjoyed on the touch screen at the school, but online, outside of the school walls. You may also find this link to the touch wall on the home page icon panel of the district website. Here is the link: Go to Touch Wall!
We will publish more information as we expand the archive. accomplishments, or just search by year, sport or accomplishment.
