Route 329Greetings!   

 

What is the significance of Route 329?  Is it the road number for Kenwood Drive?  The secret short-cut to get to school on time?

No, 329 is a number that signifies advancement.  329 is the current enrollment number at DeSales, and it is a pathway of positive growth that has DeSales moving strongly into the future serving the young men of the Greater Louisville Area.

329 is a diverse group of students that represents over 20 Catholic elementary schools, 8 private schools, and 17 public schools.  329 also includes four home-schooled students and one international student.

329 means a school that is vibrant, personal, competitive, compassionate, and Christ-centered.  329 means a family where everyone looks out for each other.

We are proud to be DeSales!  Thank you for playing a role within this great community!
