Del Oro High School opened for instruction of freshmen and sophomores on September 28, 1959, one week after Placer in Auburn and Colfax opened. It was founded in 1958 and currently has over 1600 students attending. The dropout rate is 1%,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greatschools.net/cgi-bin/ca/other/4139|title=Del Oro High School|publisher=GreatSchools.net|accessdate=2008-12-10}}</ref> which is below the California state average. Many of Del Oro's teachers are return students. The school has a decades long rivalry with neighboring Placer High School in [[Auburn, CA]], as well as more recent rivalries with Granite Bay High School and Rocklin High School. ==Athletics== Del Oro's [[Division II (NCAA)|Division II]] ranked athletes compete in [[High school football|football]], [[basketball]], [[tennis]], [[baseball]], [[Cross country running|cross country]], [[water polo]], [[Track and field|track]], [[soccer]], and [[Scholastic wrestling|wrestling]]. ==Student Government and Service== ===Leadership=== Del Oro High School has an outstanding Leadership program that is responsible for upholding and continuing the years of tradition that make up Del Oro High School and the surrounding community. It is available for students each term 1st and 3rd block. To get into the class as a commissioner, a student must apply and be accepted by class or ASB officers. To be a class officer, a student must be elected by his or her class in the elections held each spring. To be an ASB officer, a student must be elected by the entire school. Del Oro High School's current ASB officers are- President: Spencer Bergthold; Vice President: Taylor Dumitru; Secretary: Ashlyn Cooper; Treasurer: Ethan Tooker The Leadership Program is the most well established Del Oro High School organization within the rural Loomis community. The outreach of the program extends far beyond the school, recognized often for substantial dedication and accomplishments in local publications. It is currently headed up by Del Oro High School activities director and water polo/swim coach, Stephanie Fee, a Del Oro graduate of her own. ===Wings=== Del Oro High School's Wings program is a dedicated group of students responsible for mentoring and guiding the freshmen class each year. It is currently being run by Del Oro High School math teacher and Outdoor Adventure Club advisor, Greg Kelderman. ===Peer Helping=== Peer Helpers are another part of the foundation that makes Del Oro what it is. They take pride in assisting and mentoring all students of Del Oro High School in all aspects of their lives. The program is currently headed up by Del Oro High School English teacher and Anti-Bullying Club advisor, Mrs. Smith-rains. ==Performing arts== Del Oro's performing arts hold a strong role in the small [[Loomis, California|Loomis]] community. The performing arts department at Del Oro currently consist of an instrumental program, choral program, theatrical program, and dance program. ===Instrumental music=== The oldest and most rooted in Del Oro tradition is the "band program", currently directed by Ben Duncan. The program consists of five ensembles: [[marching band]] (fall only), [[concert band]] (spring only), [[jazz band]] (spring only), [[winter percussion]] (spring only), and [[winter guard]] (spring only). None of the ensembles run year-round, so it is very common that students participate in marching band in the fall and up to three of the other choices in the spring (in rare cases, a student may be able to participate in all ensembles). The band program holds long standing traditions in the [[Loomis, California|Loomis]] community as the host of the [[Del Oro Golden Eagle Spectacular]] (an annual marching band competition for schools in Northern California and sometimes neighboring states) and more recently its hosting of the [[Del Oro Golden Eagle Winter Spectacular]] (an annual competition for [[winter percussion]] and [[winter guard]] ensembles). The band program also hosts an annual local crab feed and performs an annual "light show" at the [[homecoming]] game where the stadium lights are turned off and the students perform wearing lights on their bodies with the marching percussion lighting up on contact. ===Choral music=== Del Oro has two choral ensembles: beginning choir and advanced choir. Both are directed by Lisa Sands (preceded by Marlene Astle). Del Oro is known within the state-wide choir community for producing significant numbers of [[honor choir]] participants both on the regional and state levels. ===Theatre=== Though relatively new (the full program began in 2005), the theatre department has quickly become a staple in the [[Loomis, California|Loomis]] community. The program's debut production was the American classic, "You Can't Take it With You", written by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart and directed by Jeffrey Johnson, co-founder of Del Oro's theatrical program. It opened in late-2004, prior to the completion of the new theatre facility and was performed on the campus cafeteria stage. The school received 10 Elly Award nominations, with one win, from the [[Sacramento Area Regional Theatre Alliance]] for the performances of "The Foreigner" and "Noises Off" during the 2006-2007 school year. ===Dance=== The newest program started and was founded by a student named LaTasha Holland in 2006, and is directed by Dawn Kenniston who soon took over in 2007. ==Fight song== The "Del Oro Fight Song" is an adaptation of the [[Washington State University Fight Song]]; in fact, the marching band plays exactly the same sheet music. The difference between the two fight songs are the lyrics. ===Lyrics=== [[File:Del Oro High School Golden Eagle Fight Song.ogg|thumb|The Del Oro marching band of 1999 plays the fight song (no voices).]] Fight, fight, fight for Del Oro High!
