Joining DeSales begins by contacting our Director of Enrollment. From this contact we schedule an opportunity to meet, discuss DeSales and, if possible, visit the school. From their families will complete the online registration process and submit a copy of recent grades and test scores. The process will conclude with an official interview with the Principal and Counselor. The first semester after acceptance is a probationary period during which the Walla Walla Catholic Schools reserves the right to require students to pursue other educational opportunities.
