Go C**ts!

It's almost time to celebrate our alumni with graduation years ending in 1 & 6!

We're just over a week away from our Class Reunion Pre-Game Party on Friday, August 21! Alumni from classes ending in 1 and 6 are invited to come back to DeSales, reconnect with classmates, enjoy dinner and drinks, and cheer on the C**ts as we take on Oldham County.

🟠 Friday, August 21 @ 5:30 p.m.
DeSales High School Cafeteria
$30 per person — includes dinner from Mission BBQ, drinks & football game admission.
👉 RSVP by Monday, 8/17: https://bit.ly/4a60df5
(It's also Future C**ts night, so if you have a son in grades K-8th, bring him along and he will get free game admission, free swag, and a free hot dog!)

A couple classes are making the most of the weekend with additional gatherings:

🟤 Class of 2011 — Friday, August 21, after the football game at O'Shea's
🟠 Class of 1966 — Saturday, August 22, 7:00 p.m. at O'Shea's

If you're a member of either class, make plans to keep the reunion going and reconnect with your classmates! You can find out more info at https://tinyurl.com/dhmd33py (scroll down to "Additional Reunion Info")

Come home to DeSales and make a weekend of it! As we celebrate 70 years of C**t tradition, there's no better time to be back on campus.
