Wrestling
At De Smet Jesuit High School, we are dedicated to the growth and development of our young men through extra-curricular activities. On the wrestling team, we believe that “being a wrestler” is a lifestyle, and that nothing better prepares young men for success in life than the lessons received from wrestling.
Stay Tuned for a special announcement about the Wrestling Program.
