Welcome to La Salle High School! As a Catholic school in the Lasallian tradition, we prepare our young men to achieve their full potential in mind, body and spirit. Our devoted students, passionate staff and incredible parent and alumni community all work together to continue our legacy of being a first-class high school.
For the student who wants to excel in and beyond the classroom, La Salle High School provides a unique, Christian brotherhood that fosters personal discovery through intentional, experiential, service-based learning connections to develop authentic men.
As an all-male, Catholic high school, La Salle offers prospective students and families every opportunity you would expect of a large high school, but in a warm, welcoming and smaller class-size environment. La Salle is passionate about our diversity and admits students of any race, religion, color, socioeconomic background and national or ethnic origin.
