From the Principal

Jon Self, DCHS Principal   Welcome and thank you for your interest in Desert Christian High School. Our mission is to “disciple students…to impact their world for Christ.”  We do this by addressing every part of who our students are with the truth of God’s word. Our aim is to partner with students and their families to help them mature spiritually, to develop a biblical worldview, and to prepare them academically to make a difference in their world.

   A big part of how we do this is by developing a culture of grace on campus; one in which our students are treated much the same way God treats us. They are given a broad boundary to live within, guidelines and structure are there but so is the freedom to choose. Responsibility is expected with the freedoms that are given, and real consequences come with both good and bad choices. Students are encouraged to think and engage, to wrestle with their problems and not run from them; to seek to know their Creator and to understand their identity in Him and his purposes through them; to see His glory and enjoy His presence. It is in this culture of grace that we disciple our students through the academic and co-curricular rigors that we offer at DCHS.

   If you are interested in finding out more please call or come by in person for a visit; we would love to show you our campus and introduce you to the staff and students that make this place so special.
