Stallions in the Spotlight
The Boys Lacrosse program had a great turnout on Sunday for their annual Alumni game. It was wonderful to see so many alums and a fun way to send off the recent 2018 grads.
Senior Jillian McDougal will be participating in the annual heart walk for the American Heart Association on August 25th. With a heart condition herself, encouraging others to learn about cardiovascular health is very special to Jillian. For more on this cause, please click here.
It was an honor to have members of the 1998 State Championship Team at the Sixth Annual Night of Tradition as we celebrated the 20th Anniversary of their Championship season!
This summer, St. Francis DeSales High School sent a team to Boston for The National Enrollment Management & Advancement Conference for Catholic School Educators, hosted by Partners in Mission. This annual gathering of professionals and leaders focuses on developing a better understanding of "best practices" in advancing the mission of Catholic Education and is the largest event of its kind in the nation. This conference was just one of the many professional development opportunities faculty and staff participate in to further the mission of our school.

Daily Reflection
Dearest Lord,
teach me to be generous;
teach me to serve You as You deserve;
to give and not to count the cost,
to fight and not to heed the wounds,
to toil and not to seek for rest,
to labour and not to ask for reward
save that of knowing I am doing Your Will.
