Re-Registration is Open!
2024-2025 School-Year
Dear DeSales Family,
On behalf of the faculty and staff, I want to thank you for choosing DeSales. We are proud of our traditions, Catholic identity, academic and athletic programs, successful graduates, and outstanding reputation. We look forward to continuing our commitment to providing a high-quality education for your child(ren) in the 2024-25 school year.
We are grateful for your dedication and cooperation and recognize the sacrifices you may make in order to afford DeSales. To assist with the financial burdens of our families, we are not raising tuition for our K-8 and part-time preschool students in the upcoming school year, with only a slight increase for the full-day PreK programs.
Please be sure to take advantage of our financial aid options and referral program for further savings. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thanks for all you do!
Karen Rahill, Principal
