Greetings from Mr. Gault

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and celebrate the members of our eighth grade class.  Through much hard work and dedication, each one has been accepted to a Catholic high school of his choice.  These students have been presented with many challenges and obstacles and some have had to overcome major hurdles, yet all have achieved their goal and have registered at a Catholic high school for the 2017-2018 academic year.

Each student along with his family and his teachers has had a role to play in his academic success.  Our students' families place a high value on the education their sons receive and the faculty and staff of The De La Salle School give 110% of their time talent and energy to ensure that the students entrusted to our care receive the finest education in the Lasallian tradition.  This collaboration between home and school is a major factor for our student's academic achievements and success.  Of course none of this would be possible without the generosity and love that we receive from our benefactors and supporters.

Listed below are our eighth grade students and the Catholic high school they will be attending in September:

Jorge C. - Holy Trinity Diocesan High School
Franklin C. - Holy Trinity Diocesan High School
Erick G. - Kellenberg Memorial High School
Noe H. - Kellenberg Memorial High School
Daniel L. - Kellenberg Memorial High School
Carlos M. - Holy Trinity Diocesan High School
Daniel P. - Kellenberg Memorial High School
Daniel R. - Kellenberg Memorial High School
Matthew S. - Chaminade High School
Ranulfo T. - Regis High School

Congratulations Gentlemen!   We are very proud of your achievements and we look forward to the next phase of your Lasallian journey as you join The De La Salle School Graduate Support Program.

Our next newsletter will highlight students in our Graduate Support Program and some of the amazing things that they are accomplishing as they continue their association with The De La Salle School.

With prayerful best wishes,

William L. Gault
Executive Director
