I am proud that our alumni are active contributors to their professions, locally and around the world. Many make an immense impact in the work force, and it is with joy and pride that your talent and inspiration originated here at SFD. Twice a year, we host a Professions Night where alumni and current parents come back to our school and speak to current students about their profession, offering insight and inspiration. We are quickly approaching the Spring Professions Night, being held on Thursday, April 25. The fields we are highlighting are Creative and Performing Arts along with Media and Communications. We would be honored to have alumni involved in these professions join us for a very special evening. This is a great way to make a positive impact on your school community.
I encourage all of you to support this wonderful causes so that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of our young Stallions. If you are willing and able to come speak to our students, please email me at
faulkner@desales.co
. Even if you can't come back, we still want to learn about your career successes. Please share your story with us. Thank you in advance for being so willing to give your time and talent to our students.
Connecting the past, strengthening the present, and promoting the future,
Amy Faulkner
Director
of Alumni and Family Engagement

Senior basketball player, Kayin Derdin takes over the Stallion Spotlight as the 6th player in Stallion history to join the 1000 Point Club. This monumental moment was reached during the District Semifinals against Granville on March 5, 2019. Due to his tremendous talent, effort, and teamwork, Kayin was also chosen for 2nd Team All-District, as a District 10 All-Star, and for the District 10 Division 2 Super Team. These accomplishments are amazing, but what is more impressive is that he is also very successful in the classroom and in the community. He is team captain, holds outstanding grades in the classroom, and has a part-time job at his neighborhood park/community center, the place where his own basketball career began. Now that the season is over he plans to work more, finish his senior year strong, and continue to train for basketball, in hopes of playing at the collegiate level. He is looking forward to a future full of amazing opportunities but will certainly miss the Stallion community and the love and support he has received over the years.

Spiritual Reflection
Jesus, I believe you when you encourage me to ask, seek, knock. I believe you when you say prayer will be answered. But there those times when belief wavers, because it looks like my prayer is not being answered. Please help my faith, my hope. Lord, I believe; help my lack of trust. Amen.
