Desert Sands Charter High School does not endorse any particular youth group. Our experience with students who participate in organizations (requiring at least a 70% C-grade performance level in school to stay an active member), have also been shown to be motivated for meeting or exceeding our requirements too.
If Youth Directory information needs to be updated, or you wish to nominate a new youth group to this list, please notify Mr. d'Avignon at 272-0044 or ddavignon@dschs.org.
