"I enjoy getting up and coming to work every day because DeLaSalle Education Center creates an atmosphere full of passion and genuine care for the students as well as the staff. I watch the teachers, counselors and administrative staff interact with the students and I get goose bumps watching the reaction from the students. You can see in the faces of these youth that they appreciate the care and love they receive from our staff because it is expressed in every word, every touch and in every facial expression throughout each building."
