We Welcome You!

A letter from Kristine Grady Derewicz, Chair of The Board of Trustees

Welcome to La Salle Academy!  We are a school and a community dedicated to serving students and their families who desire a Catholic education and who cannot afford one without the generous and enduring support of our Board of Trustees, benefactors, and supporters.  

For more than twenty years, we have educated and supported our students and our graduates in the tradition of the Sisters of Saint Joseph and the Brothers of the Christian Schools.  Our faculty, administrators and staff care deeply for our students, both inside and outside the classroom.  We are so proud of our graduates, as they enter adulthood grounded in the five goals of La Salle Academy --  to be Peaceful, to be Responsible, to be Consistent, to be Motivated, and to be Respectful.  

The Sisters of Saint Joseph propose 100 maxims to live by -- short sayings that offer guidance for a deepening relationship with God, others, and self. Many of these are alive and well at LSA, but one in particular—let your life be a continuous act of love—is the foundation on which all is built.  Similarly, St. John Baptist de la Salle said, “To touch the hearts of your students is the greatest miracle you can perform.”  LSA’s faculty, administrators, and staff show their love by tirelessly working to bring these values to every decision that is made, to every conversation with a family member, and to every interaction with a student.  

La Salle Academy does not exist without the commitment of every Board member, every donor, and every supporter. We are profoundly grateful that so many individuals, families, foundations, and organizations donate their resources, financial and otherwise, to ensure the continuing vitality of the unique and impactful education we offer to our students. 

I welcome you to visit LSA soon.  You will see, firsthand, a vibrant, engaged school where the classrooms, hallways, and schoolyard are brimming with the hard work and joy of learning.

Chair, La Salle Academy Board of Trustees
