Profile of a Graduate
We believe it is essential to continuously evaluate the changing world beyond high school and adapt the De La Salle learning experience accordingly. Our goal is to ensure that our students are uniquely equipped to meet the criteria of an ever-evolving college admissions process and be in a position to thrive in the workforce. As such, some of the areas where we place focus are communications literacy, sophisticated thinking, teamwork, self-directed learning, and personal and social responsibility.
