Concord, Calif. – De La Salle alumnus Dalton Brown ‘94 has been selected for the 2024 De La Salle High School Distinguished Alumnus of the Year award. Dalton has been actively involved with De La Salle for many years and is well-known by the De La Salle Alumni Association and the broader De La Salle community.
A regular attendee at De La Salle events, Dalton spent two terms on De La Salle’s Alumni Board and five years as the committee chair for De La Salle’s annual Golf Classic. Today, in addition to being the father of sophomore Sam Brown and Dominic Brown ‘23, Dalton volunteers his time with De La Salle’s football program as an assistant varsity coach.
Dalton has been a strong supporter of De La Salle’s mission to educate young men of faith, integrity, and scholarship ever since he walked the corridors of Winton Drive three decades ago. For him and his wife Emily, it was only natural that their sons follow their dad into a Lasallian education.
Outside of De La Salle and his work serving as a liaison between clients and insurance carriers, Dalton stays active within his local community through organizations like the Down Syndrome Connection Bay Area and the Pleasant Hill Baseball Association, where he was a board member for nine years. He also coached his sons within the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO).
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dalton when I was at Justin Sienna and now at De La Salle, and there are few individuals who typify what it means to be a Spartan – Dalton is absolutely one of them,” shares David J. Holquin, De La Salle’s President. “The selflessness that he gives to our institution and the amount of time and energy he puts into what we do and who we are is incredible. As a parent, he continues to care about what we do today as well as what we do in the future. There just aren’t enough folks like him, and I’m delighted that we can honor him as our Alumnus of the Year.”
