Delhi District Secondary School is a publicly funded high school that is located near downtown Delhi in Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada.
This rural school had one of the lowest enrollment rates in Norfolk County, and had been considered for closure on several occasions, until September 2010 when they received over 200 students from Norwich Secondary School. Delhi District Secondary School has a variety of athletic teams. These include football, cheerleading, basketball, volleyball, soccer (association football), tennis, badminton, cross country, track and field, scholastic wrestling, swimming and more. They are collectively known as the "Raiders." The Delhi teams usually have a rivalry with the athletic teams from Simcoe Composite School and Holy Trinity.
