Dear De La Salle Alumni,
Over 300 years ago our namesake, St. John Baptist De La Salle, educated young people with the goal of transforming lives. This foundational mission, inspired by the Holy Spirit, rings true to this day at De La Salle. We begin our 135th school year with great strength and high expectations. Our 750 students stand on the shoulders of more than 23,000 graduates of the Institute and its storied tradition of delivering a first-class Lasallian education.
The faces have changed, but the stories remain the same. Hardworking families who have a determination to give their children an opportunity to experience a four-year journey at De La Salle. A journey that focuses on the four pillars of spirituality, academics, student involvement and family.
This year De La Salle met our families’ needs by providing $2.1 million dollars in tuition assistance to over 85% of our students. To sustain and grow our school, we count on you, our community, for support. Please consider making a gift to this year’s annual appeal. In doing so, you partner with and inspire our faculty and staff as we work together to provide the greatest gift you can give to a young man or woman - a Catholic education! Thank you for your consideration. Go Meteors!
