Mission Statement
DeLaSalle High School opened in 1900 as the first Catholic high school in Minneapolis. Administered by the Christian Brothers since its inception, “De” has been co-educational since 1971-72. Over 15,000 men and women have graduated from DeLaSalle, which is still located on historic Nicollet Island, within walking distance of downtown Minneapolis. Today, DeLaSalle educates students from over 116 different Twin Cities grade schools, from as far away as 30 miles in each direction. Still the only traditional college prep Catholic high school within Minneapolis, De is also the most diverse private high school in Minnesota in terms of ethnicity, socio-economics, and family background. DeLaSalle has a selective admission policy, predicated on a student’s desire for Catholic, Lasallian values and for college preparatory academics. Since 1990, ninth grade applications have tripled. Current enrollment has risen to a 43-year high of 750 students.
About This Cause
Our mission is to serve students from Minneapolis and surrounding communities who seek a high-quality, values-based, academic preparation for life. We at DeLaSalle High School fulfill this mission, in part, by respecting and affirming our heritage as a Catholic High school in the Lasallian tradition. As demonstrated by the unwavering and enthusiastic commitment to attract students from various economic levels, academic abilities, racial communities, and ethnic backgrounds, DeLaSalle High School extends beyond the facilitation of academic success to the preparation of students to be of service to the local, national, and global community both during and after their formal education. DeLaSalle High School, Minneapolis, seeks to create an environment in which the youth of our urban area are empowered and enabled to create for themselves and others a functional, literate, safe community.
