Today, we simply refer to all who participate in our mission as “The DB Family.”  The DB Family truly lives our motto, "Faith in Christ…Service to Others."  Our students devote many hours of service each year to help those in need.  We are, and must continue to be, a loving and caring community to one another and our world.  In the words of Jesus, “I have not come to be served, but to serve.”

Cavalier Coed Proud

Life is coed, and so are we. Young women and men must learn to interact respectfully with one another. Having these experiences in high school empowers them to interact appropriately in mixed-gender settings now and in the future.

Cavalier Diversity Proud

The world is diverse, and so are we.  Our students come from 46 different zip codes and 72 grade schools.  We are 33% African-American, Hispanic, Asian, or biracial.  We are 72% Catholic and 28% from other faiths.  Our students come with different learning abilities and styles, and we strive to meet the academic needs of each individual.  Our students also come from various socioeconomic backgrounds.  Approximately 65% receive some sort of tuition assistance.  We embrace our diversity, recognizing that our different gifts and perspectives allow us to serve more fully as the Body of Christ.
