Duchesne locker rooms get huge update
After decades of use, Duchesne’s locker rooms received a significant renovation, transforming into spaces that will be far more functional and comfortable for student athletes for years to come.
The Duchesne administration conceived of the new endeavor after last year’s student fitness center update. They decided the time was right to move forward with the project after the school raised over $348k during the 2024 #iGiveCatholic campaign.
“We are so appreciative of the wonderful donors who provided the funds for this project through our #iGiveCatholic Giving Day,” said Duchesne President Paul Boschert ’77. “ We now have great dressing room facilities for our athletic teams and physical education classes that are the best in the area.”
The locker rooms feature epoxy floors, updated lighting, updated plumbing, and, of course, new lockers.
All five locker rooms received improvements, four built in 1990. The fifth, commonly known as “The Dungeon” by DHS athletic staff, dates back to the 1950s and shows the most drastic change.
Duchesne Athletic Director Renee Moore ’86 said the new space will help create a strong team-bonding atmosphere.
“Not a single detail was left out,” she said. “The locker rooms truly reflect our commitment to excellence. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make these spaces a reality.”
“We are so excited to have this new space for the athletes,” said Boys and Girls Head Volleyball Coach Maddie Krause ’20. “This will be an amazing new addition to our team culture and leave the athletes with a sense of pride to be able to compete together.”
In a student reaction video published on Duchesne’s social media channels, students expressed how impressed they are by the new space. See the post by clicking HERE.
“It’s a place where we can all hang out now,” said volleyball player Tori Edler ’26. “I’m just excited for our pre-game hype in the locker room.”
“People actually want to be in the locker rooms and use it as a place to just be around each other,” said volleyball player Gabi Ulrich ’26.
“It looks more modern,” said football player Chris Hernandez ’26. “We have more space for our gear and pads, which allows us to get ready quickly for practice as well. I also love the benches. They look amazing.”
