DeLaSalle High School is the longest-standing Catholic high school in the city of Minneapolis dating back to the early 1900s. Known for a strong commitment to our students, our mission is to serve students and families who seek a high-quality, values-based academic preparation for life. We fulfill this mission by respecting and affirming our heritage as a Catholic high school in the Lasallian tradition.
We are deeply committed to a diverse and well rounded student body. Our student body is unsurpassed in its rich diversity of personal backgrounds and stories. Owing to our tradition as a Lasallian school, and drawing from the charism associated with schools from 77 countries, we welcome and affirm all students. There is no Catholic or private high school in Minnesota as authentically diverse as DeLaSalle, where students of every race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic background are all called to Gospel values and academic excellence.
Our programming is focused on preparing students for success in their futures by providing meaningful and positive relationships and experiences to encourage students to pursue lives of learning, faith, and service to their communities. Our academics are intentionally rigorous and relevant. Every student in our school is outfitted with a tablet device and teachers across our school find ways to use technology in lessons and provide our students a modern and future-focused educational experience.
Our standardized test scores are among the best in Minnesota. Our course offerings allow students to dig deep and get the tools they need to succeed. We now offer 16 Advanced Placement (AP) courses where students can earn college credit while in high school. Our graduates attend many of the finest colleges and universities, and they say without hesitation that DeLaSalle prepared them to meet the challenges of higher education. We are proud to provide a great education for our students that truly has something for everyone.
