De La Salle High School

Excellence is deeply embedded within De La Salle. We strive to help our students reach their greatest potential by enriching their cultural, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual development.
Put simply, we educate the whole person and not just the mind.
Learning happens with every interaction - not only inside the classroom but also outside in the hallways, in our shared spaces, and on the athletic field.
Our ultimate goal is to create good men who understand the value of strong relationships, are comfortable with their emotions, have a deep-seated sense of social responsibility, and can lead with confidence, fairness, and empathy.
Our academic programs are practical, comprehensive, challenging, diverse, and rooted in the liberal arts.
We offer more AP classes than any other school in our area, and our courses are specifically designed to equip graduates with the skills they need to deal with the rigors of even the most selective universities.
