The dress code followed more closely. The handbook states certain things however it does not seem like DeSales adheres to what is in the handbook.

We love DeSales. We see no reason to send any if iur kids anywhere else. Our son is happy there and we feel that it is adequately preparing him for college or whatever he chooses to do in life.

My experience at DeSales High School has been a mix of valuable lessons and personal growth. The best part has been the tight-knit community, where teachers and staff are supportive and truly care about our success. I've also enjoyed the opportunities to challenge myself academically through honors and dual credit courses, which have prepared me for college. Overall, DeSales has shaped me positively.

I attended DeSales a few years ago. I am now a police officer. I credit my time at DeSales for building the ethics, morales, and professionalism I needed to be successful in my career. DeSales treats the students as young men and expects positive results. I am grateful for my time there!
