Engagement P A R E NT

De La Salle parents play a large part in ensuring

our boys experience excellence here at De La Salle.

Our volunteer opportunities are designed so that

parents can choose how to give back to the school in a way that will not interfere with their day to day lives. We encourage our parents to stay involved

with the school whether it be joining Moms’ or Dads’ club, volunteering for a specific event, or following and interacting on social media!

The inherent value of volunteers cannot be debated.

One of the things that makes De La Salle Collegiate

so special is that there are so many people who are willing to give their time and energy to volunteer for our sons’ sake. The hours donated are given from the heart and they are performed with love. The

Board, the CBA, the Dads’ Club, Music Boosters, and many other parent-led groups are dedicated and

determined to make De La Salle the best high school that it can be.

We thank you for your commitment to De La Salle, we could not do it without you!

Volunteer

Parents and friends who wish to volunteer at De La Salle are required every 3 years to complete a

background check. This is for all parents who volunteer at school in any way – chaperoning events, field trips, Dads Club, CBA functions, Band Boosters, WAMS volunteers, Senior All-Night party, etc.

If you are able to volunteer, please remember that you are truly appreciated even when we don’t

see you in action or we forget to stop you that day to tell you. You are a very important part of our school community.

Questions regarding volunteering at De La Salle Collegiate can be sent to volunteer@delasallehs.com
