Stallions in the Spotlight

A special thank you to our awesome community for supporting the 2016 Canned Food Drive! Last Friday, students in H omeroom 222 and members of National Honor Society dropped off donated goods to the St. James the Less Food Pantry and the St. Stephen's Community House. Homeroom 222, led by Mrs. Patti Stephas and Mr. Ryan Wiggins, had the highest turn-in for this year's drive.

Senior Cleo Yeager was honored as the December Rotary Club of Westerville Student of the Month at a luncheon held last Thursday. Congrats! 

In the first ever Columbus Dispatch TOP PICK Poll there were 184,784 votes cast...and the results are in.  Columbus has spoken and St. Francis DeSales High School is a 2016 CBUS TOP PICK! We will find out tomorrow if we took the top spot. Thank you to all who took time to vote for us last month.
Art students went on their annual field trip to Winterfair on December 2nd to talk to professional artists and view their work.  They also saw paintings created by Robert Buck at the Angela Meleca Gallery that react when photographed with a cell phone flash. They finished the day off by visiting CCAD's diorama art pieces by Roxy Paine.
