Carolyn Watkins
Director of Human Resources

"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."

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.
