School Notes

De La Salle High School helps students reach their greatest potential by enriching their cultural, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual development.
The education that it provides is practical, comprehensive, challenging, accessible to all, and deliberately designed to help students make a successful transition to college.
Our ultimate goal is to create good men who understand the value of strong relationships, have a deep-seated sense of social responsibility, and can lead with confidence, fairness, and empathy.

School Mascot: Spartans

Classes intentionally provide students an opportunity to build out their academic acumen and interests while developing the skills they need to deal with the rigors of even the most selective universities. For this reason, De La Salle offers more AP classes than any other high school in its area.
De La Salle embraces the fact that each student is unique and it believes in providing support that not only addresses the academic needs of its students but also their spiritual, emotional, and social needs. It has three full-time academic support staff, three college counselors, four personal counselors, a Campus Ministry department, and a Student Life department. It also has other programs and facilities in place to promote success, like a dedicated Learning Center, a robust tutorial program, and a freshman program called Spartan Success. Combined, these services provide an all-encompassing level of support that is unparalleled for the high school experience.
The on-campus experience at De La Salle is deep, vibrant, and intended to foster a sense of student belonging. The young men who form its student body are from various racila, ethnic, socioeconomic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, and enjoy a diverse range of lifestyles, experiences, and interests. Together with faculty, staff, parents, and alumni, they help form a very special community. One that is warm, welcoming, and inclusive, and one that values and respects everyone for who they are and who they want to become.
By graduation, students have developed an understanding of the legacy they carry and what it means to be a man of faith, integrity, and scholarship. Moreover, each graduate takes their Lasallian learnings and sense of social responsibility with them.

My son is now a sophomore at De La Salle, and he finds rigor as well as enjoyment in his classes. The positive environment has allowed him to make connections with teachers and students alike. He enjoys being part of the theater program and has made many friends. As a Catholic parent, I appreciate the opportunities for my son to grow in his faith through his religion classes and through the experiences that Campus Ministry provides (masses at school, retreats, reconciliation, etc.). I know that in this safe, nurturing environment that De La Salle provides, my son is allowed to grow spiritually and academically with full support from his teachers and counselors along the way. I have no doubt that we made the right choice in sending him to De La Salle.

I transferred my son to De La Salle halfway through his freshman year after a difficult start at his public high school, and it is one of the best parenting decisions my husband and I have made to date. Even though he entered the school knowing only a couple of other students, he is thriving socially and seems very happy. We have also seen an improvement in his grades despite a tougher curriculum. We attribute his academic progress to attentive and supportive teachers (they offer extra help after school and during lunch breaks), as well as De La Salle's phenomenal Learning Center. So far, we couldn't be happier with how he is doing, and we are looking forward to seeing him continue to grow.
