Congratulations to the 2019-2020 Journalism staff advised by Ms. Brittany Monaco for receiving a 2nd place ranking from the American Scholastic Press Association (ASPA). The yearbook, "One School, One Campus, One Family" was designed to incorporate all of the changes De La Salle Institute has undergone. The 2019-2020 school year marked the school's 130 year celebration, included the very last class to have attended single-gendered campuses, the departure of the 33-year school principal, Dr. Diane Brown, and the various additions and renovations to the Institute Campus' building. "One School, One Campus, One Family" honed in on unity as a theme to account for unforeseen circumstances the pandemic created . The yearbook staff worked diligently through the beginning of the pandemic and published a book that captured a year like no other. #meteorsunited https://www.asan.com/annual-yearbooks-magazin...
