“Our son’s four years at La Salle not only helped him grow, but it also helped him form friendships that will last him a lifetime. It helped him experience new things. It helped him explore other interests and it helped him become the young man that we are proud to call our son. As a Catholic family, our faith relies on our belief that our son would become an extraordinary young man…We believe without La Salle our son would not be ready for the world socially, academically and spiritually.”
