Explore the opportunity to be part of the next group of talented young men who will graduate De La Salle as men of faith, integrity, and scholarship.
David Holquin
President
As you delve into our website, we hope you will gain a better understanding of what makes our school so great. Whether it is our dedicated and talented faculty, our rich and engaging curricula, or our abundant extracurricular activities that help foster leadership, work ethic, and community while also creating the right conditions for excellence outside of the classroom.
We also hope you will obtain insight into some of the other unique facets of our school - like the way our students give back to our community and the world around them through service. The way we embrace our Christian values and strive to provide an environment that is moral, caring, and joyful. And the way our students form an unbreakable and lifelong bond with their peers through the Spartan Brotherhood.
In particular, we encourage you to spend time on our About pages. It is here you will find De La Salle’s Mission and Philosophy, as well as the three Integral Student Outcomes that we hope each student will come to know and understand before they graduate.
As you learn more about us, we want to let you know that we are equally excited to learn more about you. So please take a few minutes to fill out our online Inquiry Form. This will assist us as we work with you to schedule a campus tour and get to know you personally.
Our young men come to De La Salle from all over the Bay Area because of the reputation we have as a premier college preparatory school. They hail from Concord and Clayton to Berkeley and Lafayette, from Alamo and Danville to Livermore and Dublin, from Pittsburg and Brentwood, to everywhere in between. Collectively, the different backgrounds and diverse experiences of our students create a truly special community that is not only inclusive but also values and respects everyone for who they are and who they want to become.
But don’t just take our word for it. The best way to experience what De La Salle has to offer is to come and see it for yourself. We invite you to attend one (or all) of our Admission events in the fall: our Spartan for a Day shadow program, Open House, and One Night Only (our visual and performance arts showcase).
In the meantime, we encourage you to follow us on social media and join us for one of our sports, music, or theatre events. Amazing things happen in our community every day!
We look forward to welcoming you and wish you all the best in your high school search.
