Laying the Foundation for a Life of Faith
Dear St. Francis de Sales School Parents,
I’m excited to return to the place where I served as principal over a decade ago. It’s wonderful to come back to this amazing community and start another school year together. We have many exciting plans for the year ahead, and I look forward to everything we will achieve together through faith and learning.
I wanted to let you know that there are still openings for the 2025–26 school year. If you or someone you know is looking for a caring Catholic education grounded in academic excellence and core values, we would be delighted to welcome more families to our school community. Tuition assistance is available, and we are dedicated to making a Catholic education accessible to everyone who desires it.
Please know that I have an open-door policy and welcome the chance to connect with you, whether you have a question, concern, or just want to say hello.
David Wieters
