Overview
DeSales is a self-sufficient Archdiocesan-sponsored Catholic high school for boys, serving families in and around the Louisville area.
DeSales is a learning community made up of its students and their families; its faculty, staff and administration; its alumni; and, community supporters.
The mission of St. Francis DeSales High School is to provide each student a unique learning experience that daily recognizes his God-given dignity; promotes his spiritual, academic and personal growth; guides him to more fully live a Christian values-based life; challenges him to achieve high standards in pursuit of ever higher goals; and instills confidence in his ability to successfully face the future.
The DeSales learning community seeks to nurture the unique talents and abilities of its members by providing a variety of learning experiences both in and out of the classroom.
It sets standards in all areas and holds each member accountable for meeting these standards.
It continues to be an educational leader by encouraging and promoting best practice and by proactively addressing the ever-changing needs of the community.
As soon as you set foot on our modern campus, you'll realize that Trinity is not your typical high school.
But when you meet our faculty and students, you'll discover it goes deeper than our cutting-edge facilities, fully networked classrooms or state-of-the-art athletic stadium.
Trinity is a comfortable feeling. It's a lifetime of brotherhood.
It's the cultivation of talent. It's inspiration to be a compassionate person.
It's fun and enthusiasm for learning. It's words of encouragement.
It's the gateway to adulthood. It's a second home. Contact James Torra at torra@trinintyrocks.com today.
