"I have an excellent rapport with my students and I believe art is the foundation for building this relationship.  DeLaSalle is one of the few schools in the urban area that offers a great variety of the arts.  I am thankful to be working at DeLaSalle and for the opportunity they have given me to grow in an area that is important to me."

Welcome to DeLaSalle Education Center

For nearly 40 years, DeLaSalle has developed and honed its program model on three primary ingredients for student success:

  • Academic classes that are small, rigorous and personalized;
  • Holistic support services that provide on-site interventions and address students' life barriers; and
  • Workforce development training that is integrated into everyday learning.

The mission of DeLaSalle Education Center is to provide a holistic environment that offers students an opportunity to improve learning and life skills.
