Athletic Director Tom Neubert participated in the Read with a Stallion program last week with a great group of Longhorns at St. Anthony. 

Congratulations to SFD senior Anthony Salmeron for being a State Finalist for the Wendy's High School Heisman. Anthony is a senior defender on the #1 ranked Stallion Boys Soccer team!


Four seniors were named Commended Students by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. This outstanding recognition is based on their test scores from the PSAT taken their junior year. Congrats to these Commended Students: Hazel Antao, Andrew Mannion, Adele Sciarroni, and Patrick Mulligan. 










The Hockey team participated in their annual service project (7th year!) at YWCA Homeless Shelter off of East 5 th  Ave. The team provided and served lunch to families, and had a chance to play with the children while they were there as well.

SFD hosted a group of 24 exchange students yesterday from the Instituto Russell-Newton in Florence, Italy. They spent time in the Italian classes and shadowed some of the SFD Italian students as well. 

Political Rally

For the past month, the senior government classes have been working to organize and put on a Mock Rally and Election for our St. Francis DeSales community. Each senior was asked to pick a side, Democratic or Republican, on which they would like to learn more about or currently side with.

We "nominated" our very own Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, along with their running mates, who will be giving speeches at our rally based on the actual candidates beliefs. Some students are also taking on the roles of third party candidates. Each government class was assigned a task for the preparation of this event, ranging from public relations to political issues for both major party candidates.  

With the national presidential election right around the corner, we are hard at work putting the final touches on each side's platform and campaign strategy. On November 2nd at 8:00 a.m., the entire DeSales student body as well as representatives from each feeder school will take part in a rally in our school gymnasium. Parents and siblings are welcome to attend. It is our hope that each student learns about the election process and candidates, and can make an informed decision come election day. Press release provided by the Mock Rally and Election Public Relations Committee.

Watch for Stallion Cards on Friday

St. Francis DeSales High School will kick off our student-driven fundraiser, Stallion Cards, on Friday, October 28. The Stallion Card features 16 local businesses that offers CONTINUOUS DISCOUNTS, and are valid for a full-year. By using the card a few times, the purchaser of the card will save more than they paid for the card. The card offers over $85 in discounts from popular restaurants and businesses. Some of the participating businesses include: Roosters, GiGi Cupcakes, Buffalo Wild Wings, and New Era Golf. The cards are credit card size and conveniently fit in wallets. 

Students are asked to participate by selling 7 Stallion Cards to family and friends. Families with multiple students need to sell two cards less than the 7 seven cards to be sold. Example two students in a family sell 12 Stallion Cards, thee students in a family sell 15 cards. The cards are sold for $10.00. 98% of the profit of the selling of the cards goes directly back to the school.

Stallion Cards will be given to students in their Family Homerooms on Friday afternoon.

Daily Reflection

" You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves."  ~St. Francis de Sales
