GRAND OPENING THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2025

Welcome Dear Friends of De La Salle Collegiate, It is with great pride and heartfelt gratitude that I welcome you to the grand opening of the Steve & Kathy McShane STEM Innovation Center. Today marks a defining moment in the history of De La Salle Collegiate — a moment where vision, generosity, and faith have come together to shape the future of our young men.

The Steve & Kathy McShane STEM Innovation Center is more than a building; it is a promise. A promise to our students that they will have access to the tools, resources, and opportunities needed to thrive in a world driven by science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It is a place where curiosity will be nurtured, creativity will flourish, and innovation will take root.

This milestone would not be possible without the unwavering support of our donors. Your commitment ensures that a Lasallian education continues to open doors and transform lives. Together, we are preparing the next generation of leaders — young men of faith, character, and excellence — equipped to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

On behalf of our administration, faculty, and most importantly, our students, I extend my deepest thanks. We are honored to share this celebration with you and look forward to the incredible impact the McShane STEM Innovation Center will have for years to come.

With gratitude,

Dan Rohn Chief Operations Officer De La Salle Collegiate
