DePaul Prep is proud to be an Under Armour school. Our athletes sport Under Armour wear and gear exclusively.

DePaul Prep is proud to partner with AthletiCo, our official provider of physical therapy and athletic training.

I want students to have positive experiences and develop lifelong friendships and relationships; friendships and relationships are much more important than wins and losses. When you develop those and close bonds, wins are more likely to come.

Director of Athletics
