Due to current restrictions on school visitors, our Spirit Shop has limited products and our community is unable to purchase the purple apparel we love. To help with this, Saint Francis DeSales High School is pleased to offer a collection of made to order Stallion gear via an online shop in partnership with 2Horse Apparel (company owners are alumni Matt and Betsy Stewart, class of 1997!). Use the link found here (The Stallion Store) to access an assortment of new products, including the Limited Edition Gold Stallion logo as featured on this year’s football helmets. The online shop will be open for orders until midnight on Sunday, November 22. Visit The Stallion Store today for your Stallion apparel fix! Products will ship to the address you designate before Christmas when ordered by November 22.
