Stallions in the Spotlight


Over Christmas Break, the SFDHS Hockey team had a fun night out at the Columbus Blue Jackets' High School Hockey Night at Nationwide Arena. It was a great night of hockey as high school teams celebrated and thanked The McConnell Education Foundation for helping support local high school hockey programs. The Hockey team also hosted their 2nd annual SFDHS Alumni game at Easton Chiller. It was wonderful to welcome back so many alums!

The Boys Basketball team took time during Christmas Break to volunteer at the Holy Family Soup Kitchen. Good work boys! 



French Exchange Program Needs You!

The World Languages Department at DeSales High School is pleased to announce the annual exchange program with our sister school in Normandy, France. This year, exchange students from Institution Saint Joseph in Le Havre, France will come to Columbus for two weeks in February 2019 (February 8-22).  They will be hosted by DeSales families, visit DeSales classes and go to cultural, educational, historical, sports and entertainment venues in and around Columbus.

We are in need of families who are willing to host a student in their home during their visit. There is no fee associated with hosting a French Exchange student, all that needs to be provided is a place to stay, meals with your family and a sack lunch on most days. The exchange students will report each day to DeSales with your current student and depart with them at the end of the day.

Please contact Mrs. Heather Evans if you are interested in hosting a student at evans@desales.co or your student can see her in room 121 to receive the necessary paperwork.

Daily Reflection 

Lord, you fed the hungry crowd with ample servings of bread and fish. But you gave them other nourishment as well-the beautiful words you spoke and the miracles you worked. Look on us today in need of such nourishment-food for the body and food for the soul. Fill our needs with your presence. Amen.
