President's Letter

Maria J. Walker

Due to increasing personal family priorities, I have had to make the difficult decision to step down as President of La Salle Academy at the end of this school year. I am proud of the systems upgrades and programs I have put into place for the school’s long-term sustainability and benefit to the students. I will continue to work diligently through the end of the school year to support the students and LSA’s important mission. I am committed to a smooth and successful transition with onboarding the next President, who will benefit from an incredibly supportive and engaged Board and the results of our Strategic Planning process, which is due to be completed in May.

Our students are truly a blessing from God, something St. John Baptist de La Salle knew and taught. The tradition of education at La Salle Academy also is bolstered by the strong connection to the Sisters of St. Joseph. Together, we strive to achieve their noble mission: “To live and work that all people may be united with God and one another.”

Please know what a delight it has been to make a difference in the lives of our Philadelphia children through education!
