We are a Catholic, college preparatory school serving young men and women in grades 9 through 12. We are affiliated with the Archdiocese of St. Louis, and our students come from parishes and schools throughout St. Charles and St. Louis counties. At Duchesne, we are dedicated to teaching the whole student: mind, body and spirit as one.
Promote a loving concern for others and service within the Church and the broader community. Although we are committed to a program of academic excellence, our broader goal is to inspire in our students a lifelong devotion to learning, a devotion that will serve them in making informed choices and in making a difference in the world.

Services
This position reports directly to the President of Duchesne High School and is responsible for directing all admissions and marketing programs. This is a full-time, year-round position with an exempt, at-will status. The primary function of this position is to increase enrollment via, personal contact, marketing/advertising efforts, special events, and public exposure of the school.
Take a journey with us as we retrace Philippine Duchesne's voyage from France to the New World to found the first free school west of the Mississippi River, the Academy of the Sacred Heart. We hope you will join us in retracing the journey of our pioneer saint and witnessing the audacity of a 48 year old woman who left all she knew to bring the Heart of Jesus to the New World without fear or language but with an open heart.
My name is Maddie Dodson '14, Director of Admissions and Marketing at Duchesne High School. I work closely with prospective students and parents during the admissions process to answer any questions and concerns regarding what DHS has to offer for you. Here at Duchesne, we value our prospective students and want to make the transition from your current school into the DHS community an easy and enjoyable one!
Shadow visits are the best way for a student to get a personal perspective of Duchesne's exceptional education experience. Typically, eighth graders shadow in the fall and seventh graders shadow in the spring. Please make a shadow appointment at least five days in advance by completing the Shadow Request Form or contacting Maddie Dodson '14, Director of Admissions and Marketing, at (636) 946-2603 or mdodson@duchesne-hs.org.
As a Catholic high school sponsored by the Archdiocese of St. Louis, we do not receive public financial support. Instead, our mission is supported by student tuition, annual fund-raising events, and the generosity of our many benefactors. While we strive to provide a high-quality, faith-based education, we also strive to keep costs affordable and provide financial assistance where needed.

Duchesne HS has surpassed my expectations. The teachers truly care about their students, the kids and families are great and the school offers plenty of resources for the students in order for them to achieve their goals and objectives for college. Great choice if you're looking for a GREAT school. Body, Mind and Spirit.

Both of my daughters attend Duchesne High School (classes of 2017 and 2018). Our decision to send our daughters to DHS has been one of the best decisions that we have ever made. The academics, arts and sports are second to none. I love the size of the school - everyone knows everyone - and is truly family. There are not only unending opportunities to get involved as a parents - but you will love the fun and friends that you will meet doing so. I even helped to coach the Women's Tennis Team which one of my daughters played on. From teachers to coaches to staff to other students - absolutely LOVE

Duchesne has been a great choice for my daughter. She was looking for a school that offered great academics, opportunity to play all her favorite sports and a warm and welcome environment. As a parent, it is comforting to know that your child is being offered strong academics and many opportunities to stay involved. The culture at Duchesne offers something for everyone! Great choice for us!

My daughter is a Freshman at Duchesne this year and loving her decision to go there. I love the small school atmosphere. Everyone is very friendly and the principal, Mr. long, is excellent! The kids use Ipads to keep themselves organized. They have plenty to offer as far as academics, sports and clubs. I love the fact that the county library is right across the street, so that my daughter can go and work on her homework until I get off work. If you're thinking about Catholic High School, go on-line and set up a shadow visit. You won't regret it!
