Delone Catholic High School Lookbook

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power.

Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness.

As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace.

With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ~Ephesians 6:10-17

At Delone Catholic, spiritual development is woven into the fabric of daily life. While guided by our dedicated Chaplain, Campus Minister, and our dynamic Peer Ministry team, our programs are designed to personally empower every student—every Squire—to deepen their faith journey.

Through these intentional opportunities, our students are challenged and inspired to: • Encounter Jesus Christ in a real and personal way.

• Fully participate in the Sacraments that nourish and sustain our faith.

• Cultivate a powerful, lifelong prayer life.

• Mature in their understanding of the rich tradition found in the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church.

“Over the last four years, my faith has become stronger and more mature. I’ve also become more aware of how important faith is to my classmates and friends.

I want to lead others to God and give them confidence to lead lives of faith.” ~ Jaquelyn M. ’26

CAMPUS MINISTRY From quiet reflection to community-wide worship, spiritual life thrives here: • Daily Prayer • Weekly Chapel Mass • Monthly All-School Liturgy • Annual Class Retreats • The transformative Kairos Retreat • Penance Services • Piligrimages • Spiritual Life Center • and so much more!

More than a motto, “Estote Factores Verbi”— “Be Doers of the Word”—is the standard by which a Delone Catholic Squire lives.

This commitment to action defines the Squire experience. Our Works of Mercy graduation requirement ensures every student offers a minimum of 80 hours of service to their community, church, and school. It’s an essential lesson in Christian leadership: using your unique, God-given talents not just for personal gain, but to lead others and enact positive change.

The result is a student body that understands the power of servant leadership and passionately continues to serve long after the requirement is met.

“You feel that deep sense of community. You feel that stewardship for each other, for the world around us. You feel that sense of belonging, which I think is really important in today’s world, and also instilling in them this sense of responsibility as they go out into the world and become our future leaders.” ~ Miss Noel ’05 English Chair

“Being an athlete on the tennis court, a performer in theater, and a competitor in speech and debate has truly shaped me into who I am today. Each role— whether I’m acing a serve or bringing a character to life on stage teaches me resilience, sparks my creativity, and shows me how powerful teamwork can be. Through many of our Honor Societies and various clubs, I’ve built friendships that inspire and push me to step outside my comfort zone.

These experiences have woven me into the person I have become from growth and passion, helping me become not just a better student, but a more engaged and vibrant part of our school community.” ~ Collin K. ’26

Delone Catholic provides opportunities for Squires to unlock their boundless creativity and God-given talents through fine art, photography, music, theater, speech & debate and more.

DELONE CATHOLIC ATHLETICS “Tradition doesn’t graduate,” is a popular phrase spoken by our Squires, coaches, and fans. Put simply, it means that year after year, each and every player represents not only their own effort, grit, talent, and determination, but that of every player ever to wear the Squire colors. Becoming a part of that legacy requires self-discipline, practice, and school pride. Through athletics, our students condition both their bodies and their minds while learning leadership skills, teamwork, and discipline.

The School Counseling Department works closely with students as they use Naviance, a career and college readiness application, to navigate options for their future. Our Squires explore their interests, relate those interests to possible career options and then educate themselves on what it takes to follow those paths.

Our flexible schedule makes it possible for students to access offcampus vocational training program, while other Squires gain real-world experience at internships with local business partners.

College Partnerships For students pursuing college admissions after high school, the investment of effort and tuition that culminates in a Delone Catholic High School diploma, can also pay off with guaranteed acceptance and merit scholarships at more than 30 partner colleges and universities.
