About us
Our Mission
Athletics are an essential part of the DSST educational experience and are a central component to the school’s mission. The DSST athletic program emphasizes solid core values, sportsmanship and commitment to excellence. Membership on a team comes with the obligation to attend and work hard at practices and to put forth a high degree of effort in game situations. The level of commitment required rightly increases as the level of competition increases.
Goals of the DSST Byers Athletic Department
- To foster academic and athletic achievement in students by emphasizing the importance of self-discipline, sacrifice and dedication to achieving goals.
- To field competitive teams, but not at the cost of academic excellence or demonstration of DSST Core Values.

- To develop in students both their sport skills and pride in their school.
