A Note from the Admissions Director

This fall has been an exciting time in Admissions. We have seen a tremendous interest in De La Salle from prospective Pilots of all ages. We just wrapped up our most successful Fall Activities Night ever! We had over 170 students between grades 5 - 8 in attendance to go through a series of fun events and obstacles, followed by National Coney Islands for everyone. We also were privileged to meet so many great families at our Open House on November 3, 2013. Many alumni brought their sons to visit “The Collegiate.” Here is what one particularly proud alumnus had to say, “I am a proud 1977 graduate. Listening to the students who participated in the Open House brought back wonderful memories. My children realized after our visit why the De La Salle Family is special. Once a Pilot, always a Pilot. I would like to thank the administration and students for continuing the tradition.” – Ralph Lobaito, DLS ’77. If you missed the Open House and Fall Activities Night, there are still plenty of opportunities for you and your son to come by De La Salle and see all the great things happening here.

On May 16, 2014 we will have the annual Spring Activities Night for prospective students in grades 4 - 7.

Additionally, we have a variety of academic and athletic summer camps designed for families to meet our staff, allow students to learn about the programs, and meet other prospective students while learning about De La Salle.

Information about the 2014 De La Salle Summer Camps

should be available by late February. In families where both parents work during the summer, the camps may be used as child-care tax write-offs.

As the Director of Admissions, and an alumnus, it is my goal to get to know you and your son(s) before they enter 8th grade. As you can see, there are tons of great opportunities for Future Pilots to stay informed and connected with De La Salle.

If you ever have any questions about applying or admissions events, please let me know. You can contact me at 586-541-6220 or admissions@delasallehs.com. And, remember “It’s a great day to be a Pilot!” Bill Burkhardt, ‘03 Director of Admissions
