im currently a senior at dhs and i've enjoyed going to this high school. the teachers are great and help out the students alot to get into college. we also have alot of school spirit and pride. and i can honestly say that everybody gets along with eachother.. its a good atomsphere. maybe it wasnt a good school back in the 90's but it changed alot and just last year we got awarded with being one of the best high schools in AMERICA.

My name is David Pierro,
I attended Delano High from 1955-1959. I found it to be an excellent school. After graduating from there in '59, I was able go on an earn my BA as Fresno State.

I attended this school over 19 years ago.......I still think about my lonely days...how unattached I became with reality. If you sincerely want something better for your child this is not the place!!!
