DLS Mission Statement

• De La Salle Collegiate High School is dedicated
  to the Catholic education of its diverse
  students, including the poor and disadvantaged.

  the spirit and tradition of St. John Baptist De
  La Salle, where learning takes place in the
  presence of God. Each student is encouraged to
  develop his faith, character, intellect and
  morality.

Goals

• Instruct students in the teachings of the
  Catholic Church so that they may appreciate, live
  and pass on their faith in Christ and His Church.
• Develop the ability of reasoning formulate a
  position in good conscience and hold to that
  position in matters of faith and morals
• As directed by the mission statement, prepare
  students for the real world of college and
  business, making them realize often the only
  thing others see is what they have written. Thus
  learning the value of proper spelling, grammar,
