What's Happening

The “shadow” program at Duchesne provides a valuable opportunity for grade-school students to spend a day as a high-school student.  The grade-school visitor will accompany our special Duchesne student ambassador through his/her day – attending classes, studying, taking tests/quizzes, eating lunch, etc.

We ask that the shadow program be used as a tool to evaluate if the Duchesne High School environment is right for you.  Please do not abuse the program by taking one of the limited spots, even though you are 100 percent sure you will or will not be attending Duchesne.  The shadow program is for students who have not yet decided on their first-choice for high school.

  • Visitors must register with Mrs. Emily Kuryla Saettele (Duchesne’s Manager of Marketing and Recruitment) in the Office of Advancement at (636) 946-2603 or ekuryla@duchesne-hs.org in advance.  Please make your request at least one week prior to the scheduled visit day, when possible.  No reservation is official until it is confirmed by Duchesne (either by phone or e-mail).  Parents are asked not to simply leave a message and send their child to DHS that day.  

  • Guests are welcome to “shadow” a friend or relative who is already at Duchesne, provided that person is an approved student ambassador.  

  • Only freshmen and sophomores will be allowed to host shadow guests –  
         NO EXCEPTIONS.  

  • Boys will shadow boys and girls will shadow girls – NO EXCEPTIONS.  

  • Eighth graders are welcome to visit in the fall, and seventh graders are welcome to visit in the spring.

  • A maximum of 10 visitors will be permitted on any given day.

  • Due to space limitations in the classrooms, only one guest will be allowed to shadow each student ambassador.

  • We ask that our guests adhere to our dress code, which allows them to wear tennis shoes and a tucked-in shirt with a collar (any color, striped, etc.), but please refrain from wearing jeans or cargo pants. Dress pants should be khaki or navy in color, with no cuts or fraying of the pant legs.

  • Duchesne will provide complimentary lunch in our cafeteria. If students would rather bring their lunch, that is certainly fine.

  • Visitors are asked to report to the school's Advancement Office -- located in the 310 Building (next to the tennis courts) -- between at 7:45 a.m.  The Duchesne student host will not be available until 7:45 a.m., so arriving especially early is not warranted.

  • Our school day ends at 2:45 p.m., and shadow guests can be picked up back at the Advancement Office at that time.
