Deceased Alumni

We honor and remember the cherished members of our alumni community who are no longer with us. Their contributions, achievements, and the bonds they formed during their time with us have left an indelible mark on our hearts and our shared history. As we reflect on their lives, we celebrate the memories they created, the lives they touched, and the legacy they leave behind. Though they may be gone, they will forever remain a part of our De La Salle community, living on in the stories we tell and the impact they made. May they rest in peace, and may their loved ones find comfort in knowing they are remembered with love and respect. Alumni that we have lost in 2024.

Giving Tuesday

#GivingTuesday is December 3rd and WE NEED YOU to help us hit our goal of $75,000! Our theme “Give to the Tradition. Give to the Legacy. Give to the Blue & Gold.” challenges our alumni, friends and community to show their appreciation for the many ways that De La Salle Institute has impacted their lives. This year, we continue to celebrate the 5 foundational pillars of a Lasallian education: Faith, Community, Service, Social Justice and Academic Excellence. These pillars define the De La Salle experience, and tie together the 135 years of graduates. De La Salle is committed to providing an excellent education for students of all socio-economic backgrounds and offers financial aid to help families afford tuition.  Over 85% of our current student body receives some form of financial assistance, with the average award being $3,000. This year, De La Salle met our families needs by providing $2.1 million dollars in tuition assistance. Your gift will provide the greatest gift you can give to a young man or woman - a Catholic education.  You can make a difference by making a donation TODAY! Help us reach our goal of $75,000.  Give to the Tradition. Give to the Legacy. Give to the…

Alumni Spotlights

Alumni Spotlights Zoe Watts Class of 2022 EDUCATION Bachelor of Arts, Connecticut College (expected in 2026) WHAT HAS YOUR FIRST YEAR AWAY FROM DE LA SALLE BEEN LIKE? I found the challenge of attending college so far from Chicago to be a relatively easy transition. As a Posse Scholar, I have the opportunity and blessing to be part of a cohort of students hailing from Chicago at Connecticut College. Even, a Class of 2021 graduate, Ian Hopkins is here, too, and he’s a Posse Scholar as well. And, being a member of the volleyball team has helped me adapt to my new environs with teammates from Chicago who also played in the Catholic Leagues. I have mostly made friends with my teammates and I hope to branch out a bit and widen my friendships during my second semester and remaining years at college. HOW DID DLS PREPARE YOU FOR POSTSECONDARY LIFE? I owe a lot to Coach Marassa for all that she did for me and does for the Meteors volleyball team. She really prepared me for the college game and helped me become a better player ready to play at the collegiate level. She taught me to work hard…
