DISCOVERY NIGHTS

We invite you and your family to join us for our Fall 2025 Discovery Night Series. Designed specifically for 6th, 7th and 8th grade prospective Stallion families, each informational session will focus on unique strengths of our St. Francis DeSales High School community.

All sessions last for 90 minutes and will be held on campus at St. Francis DeSales High School. Pre-register for one event, or attend them all, to discover for yourself the St. Francis DeSales difference. (link coming soon)

THE VALUE OF A ST. FRANCIS DESALES HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION

September 29, 2026 7-8:30 pm;
Followed by a brief social for individual Q & A

In our first Discovery Night of the season, we will explore the mission of St. Francis DeSales High School to prepare the mind, body and spirit of each student. Students will speak of their experiences of our academic programming from the perspective of a student who is able to take on as many advanced courses as possible to push the limits, to a student who uses our IEP program yet still wants to be prepared for college, and a student who maximizes our electives to discover his future path. We will also introduce our audience to how faith is interwoven into a St. Francis DeSales experience and how many ways a student can grow as a Child of God during his or her high school years.

BE WHO YOU ARE AND BE THAT WELL

October 27, 2026 7-8:30 pm;
Followed by a brief social for individual Q & A

Your four year journey should be filled with experiences and opportunities that are unique to your passions and purpose. No two students are alike...nor should be their experience. What will YOUR St. Francis DeSales High School experience look like? Audience members will get a glimpse into how our students spend their extra curricular lives while at St. Francis DeSales and how they balance it with demanding academic schedules.
