Delta News Web to add New Feature
A Delta News Web viewer suggested recently that we include a page on the
Delta News Web for Delta High School graduates and their families. We think it's a great idea!
If you are DHS alumni and have pictures of yourself and/or the significant people in your life that you would like to share,
please send them in JPG format to webwebeditor@deltanewsweb.com.
Be sure to include a little information. Please keep your submission under 80 words.
The page is under construction but click here
to see the beginnings.

Delta Lions Club honors Corey Sloan as Student of the Quarter
Lion Dean Cummings presented the award for Student of the Quarter for the first quarter of the 2001-2002 school year for Delta High School to Corey Sloan at the Delta Lions Club meeting on Monday, January 28.
Corey was nominated by Delta High School principal Leland Stocker: “Corey is a hard worker in class as well as in extra-curricular activities. She coordinated the Pennies for Protectors fundraiser this fall which raised over $4,000 to aid the victims of the September 11th tragedy. As
captain of the volleyball team, Corey directed her team to the MAC Conference title and fifth place at the state tournament. In addition to her all-tournament team honor at
regionals, she was selected to the all-tournament team at state. The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner recognized her as Athlete of the Week, an honor rarely bestowed upon someone living outside of Fairbanks.
“Her teachers, peers, coaches, teammates, and community members all speak favorably about Corey. She is a positive role model leading the student council in restoring spirit in the student body. She simply makes this a better school by her presence. Her grade point average is 3.24.”
The Delta Lions Club is proud to be able to present this Student of the Quarter award to Corey Sloan. Corey and her parents, John and Linda Sloan attended the Lions meeting and enjoyed the meal catered by Mike Jenkins at the Delta Mine Training Center. Congratulations, Corey, from all the members of the Delta Lions Club.
