STALLIONS IN THE HEADLINES

We are proud to announce that seniors Jordan Noble and Leah Selmek have been recognized as Semifinalists in the National Achievement Scholarship program, which is a part of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Pictured left.

 

Congratulations also goes to Mr. Tom Neubert, SFDHS' Athletic Director and Head Baseball coach, for being selected as the Upper Midwest Coach of the Year for the High School Baseball Coaches Association (BCA), and is up for National Coach of the Year for the BCA. He was the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association's selection for Ohio Coach of the Year, and is up for National Coach of the Year for the National Federation of High Schools as well. Neubert pictured below with his daughter after the 2012 State Championship game.  

 

Future Stallions in the Headlines! We welcome our 8th grade guests today, and throughout next week. We hope they experience the 'DeSales Difference' during their visit!

FRIENDS IN THE COURTYARD
To purchase tickets or learn more about this event, Friends in the Courtyardplease visit our Friends in the Courtyard page on the school website. 
 
This event serves as one of the three event fundraisers for St. Francis DeSales High School co-curricular programs while at the same time provides a fun social gathering with friends. The evening offers live and silent auctions, heavy hors d'oeuvres, and a taste sampling of multiple rare wines and micro- breweries.  We hope you will join us!
 
Parents of Varsity Athletes: remember that the Spirit Shop sells DeSales letter jackets. While you may also purchase these from two local retailers, the Spirit Shop is priced well below both of these stores and we believe that we use a manufacturer that makes a better looking jacket. While the price may vary slightly since the sport is priced on a per-letter basis, here is a cost comparison for you for a jacket for a student who letters in football from all three of your choices: 
Egelhoff Sports- $280.60 
Roush Sporting Goods - $276.49 
YOUR DeSales Spirit Shop - $252.00 

 

Support the school and save money too! Order forms for varsity jackets are available in the store or on the store website. "Home of a DeSales Stallion" signs are also available for all athletes through the Spirit Shop. The order form for this is also available in the store or on the website. 
Thank you for your support and remember the Spirit Shop for all of your Stallion sportswear needs! 
SPIRITUAL REFLECTION 

Do you want to know with what kind of love you should love your neighbor? With the same love with which God loves us. We must draw this love from the heart of the Eternal Father, so that it will be pure, firm, solid, constant and unchanging. Our love should not depend on a person's qualities or good fortune, nor should it be subject to the changes and dislikes that often occur in our relationships with others. In this way, even if something should happen that displeases us, our love will not grow less. (Sermons 22; O. IX, pp. 200-201)
