Fall Appeal 2024 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 in the hallways of De La Salle Institute. We begin our 135th school year with great strength and high expectations.  Over 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 desire and the determination to give their children an opportunity to obtain a Catholic, Lasallian education.  An education that will lead them to greater heights and continue the amazing cycle that is Catholic education.  To sustain and grow our school, we count on you, our community, for annual support. We ask you to please consider making a gift to this year’s fall 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!  If you have any questions, please…
