With over 65% of the teaching staff holding Master’s and PhD credentials that allows them to teach at the college level, La Salle draws educators who choose to teach in La Salle High School’s nurturing environment, developed from a 350-year Christian Brothers’ Lasallian educational tradition. To maintain our Catholic identity, nearly two-thirds of our student-body are of the Catholic faith. In addition, 26% of our school population receives partial or full tuition need-based assistance due to the generosity of our extended La Salle family, donors and supporters.
The La Salle Lancers field 22 teams on the varsity level. Student Life, visual and performing arts, honor and service societies, student clubs and organizations, and student television broadcasts and publications, provide a healthy and warm community atmosphere for all La Salle students. During the last five years 99.5% of our graduates have gone on to college with 87.6% going to four-year institutions.
La Salle High School is accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association (WECA) and Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
