Knowledge Bowl
Faculty Contact: Kathy Ruthven 

This team is open to any students in grades 9-12 interested in academic competition.  The team practices an average of 45 minutes per week from late September through early March, competing at meets about once per month.  The meets occur during the school day and allow our students to compete with teams from schools of all sizes throughout the area.  To advance to state, the team must win the Regional tournament among schools of our league (currently 1B) in late February.  The state tournament is in March each year.

DeSales High School students are invited to apply to our nationally recognized chapter after completion of three semesters at DeSales with a cumulative GPA of 3.3 or higher.  Candidate applications are screened by faculty on criteria of scholarship, leadership, character, and service.  Selected candidates are inducted as members at a ceremony and typically participate in a service project during the school year.

Student Government
Faculty Contact: Eric Rohde

The Desales Associated Student Body cabinet is the governing body of student-elected positions to help guide and be the voice of the overall DHS student body. The Council aims to develop maximum participation in school activities, encourage school spirit, and work toward full cooperation with faculty and administration. Any DeSales student, although they do not have a vote, may attend council meetings and voice an opinion or make a proposal to the Student Council.

High School ASB officer expectations include:

• ASB meetings at least once a week during lunch, but if necessary, more often.
• introduce policies to faculty and admin, while working together between the DHS student body and the faculty
• Homecoming and all the weekly activities associated with it.
• Catholic Schools Week and all the weekly activities associated with it.
• Prom  Planning
• Being willing and able to speak at assemblies, introduce speakers, lead prayer, etc.
• Be back-up for pick up of school lunches
• Represent DeSales Catholic School in the community.

Although it is expected that the ASB cabinet work together, each class office has its own expectations.

Girls League

Girls League is a girls only group that has deep roots in the WWCS reaching back many years. Our goal is to provide girls within our school community an opportunity to bond with each other and make our environment a better place through prayer, acts of service, school spirit activities, and retreats.

Makerspace (Currently Inactive)
Faculty Contact: Eric Rohde

MakerSpace Club is after school once per week (in years where an advisor is available) for DeSales students who are interested in "making". At MakerSpace, we learn about the joys of tinkering and designing new and innovative projects. The club mainly focuses on electronics, but embraces all kinds of learning. MakerSpace primary focus is on 3D printers, how to fix them, calibrate them, and how to design models to print on them. Students will also be able to take part in interesting and fun activities that were focused on in previous years such as Command Line Scavenger Hunts, and the Build-Your-Own Retro Game Console Tournament. All students are welcome and encouraged to attend!
