About Dempsey Middle School

Dempsey Middle School opened in 2000 on the John C. Dempsey Education Campus, which also holds outdoor athletic fields, recreation areas and wetlands. About 1,200 sixth, seventh and eighth graders attend, and the building doubles as an after-school activity center for the Delaware community.

Our language arts classes use a workshop model that pairs student choice in reading with demanding writing assignments. Seventh graders can take 7th grade math, Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1, and eighth graders choose from Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 and Geometry. Qualified students can add Advanced Science in grade 7, Physical Science in grade 8, and French I or Spanish I in grade 8. Related Arts include band, orchestra, chorus, technology education, consumer science and leadership, health, physical education and art.

We compete in the Ohio Capital Conference in football, cross country, golf, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, track, baseball, softball and club lacrosse. After school, students join Dempsey Singers, the Dempsey Players drama club, student council, newspaper and yearbook. We are part of Delaware City Schools.
