AMAZING LANCERS
LANCERS WIN 15 MEDALS IN ACADEMIC DECATHLON I
t is with great pride and enthusiasm that we announce the results of the 2015 Southern California Private Schools Academic Decathlon. Under the guidance of Associate Principal, Mr. Edgar Salmingo, La Salle entered three academic teams and our first team ranked 15th out of 40 teams against very steep competition! This is an amazing feat considering this was the team’s first year. “We are definitely very excited to participate again next year,” said Salmingo. At the end of the ceremony, our La Salle decathletes came home with 15 medals around their necks. These students could not have achieved this without the support of their parents and our faculty, who developed these students academically. Let us all celebrate and congratulate our students!
