This event will provide the opportunity for prospective students to interact with the De La Salle community in a meaningful way. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today! Register here.
2. Open House: Prospective families are highly encouraged to attend our Open House on October 31, 2021. Guided tours are available from 10 a.m. to Noon, and teachers, coaches, and school leaders will be there to lead workshops and answer questions. RSVP here.
3. Financial Aid Workshops (if applicable): Our Business Office is offering a virtual workshop about the financial aid application. Details here.
4. Submit Financial Aid Application (if applicable): More information about our financial aid application can be found here. Please note that we have extended all of the financial aid for 2021-22.
