La Salle High School's Philosophy
The affirmation of the spiritual nature of a person is at the base of Catholic education. Each person is unique and precious, an end unto himself. Each must mold his or her unique destiny in this life and for eternity.
Education is the right of every individual. Catholic education should offer each individual all the advantages it can give him to become all he can be. The education of youth is primarily the right and duty of the family. The role of the Catholic school is secondary to and supportive of the role of the family.
La Salle High School bases its philosophy on the teachings of Jesus and the Catholic Church, as grounded in the bishops' documents, including "To Teach as Jesus Did," and on the traditions of the Christian Brothers and their founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle. A school based on such beliefs and traditions must hold the person, both as an individual and in community, in special reverence. We see the person as redeemed and infinitely valuable, not only because of his or her usefulness, but because we are sons and daughters of God, our source and our goal. Every person is called to live in loving relationship with God and fellow human beings. In no way does the person's realization of his spiritual nature lead him to disparage the world in which he finds himself. Rather he must bring his vision to the world and bring the world to its own redemption by his creative involvement with it, in order to fulfill his consequences of both the freedom and the accompanying responsibility. This vision of the creative, free, and responsible Christian must bring the individual to a commitment to the entire community of persons, particularly to those in greatest need. A person who understands the glory of who he is and who he is called to be, and who understands the glory of his fellow man, must be deeply committed to the spiritual, moral, cultural and physical development of all persons. All of mankind's aspirations, discoveries, visions and dreams, both past and present, are matters for investigation and vehicles for growth.
La Salle High School was a part of a large expansion program of the secondary
schools of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Archbishop Carl J. Alter of Cincinnati
asked the Christian Brothers of the St. Louis Province to establish and staff the new
school. Groundbreaking for La Salle High School was March 1, 1959. On
September 6, 1960, 260 freshmen were greeted with the smell of fresh paint, the
sounds of bulldozers, and the sight of brand new desks and chairs all under the
leadership of La Salle's first principal, Brother James Camillus, F.S.C. The school
was officially dedicated Sunday, May 14, 1961.
Lancers receive a Lasallian education based on the teachings of St. John Baptist de
La Salle. He grasped the utter importance of an education and devoted his life to
making schools available to young men who would have been deprived of this
opportunity. St. John Baptist de La Salle perpetuated his vision that a complete
education should include the person's body, mind, and spirit by founding the
Brothers of Christian Schools. The Christian Brothers are the largest teaching order
in the Catholic Church specifically devoted to the Christian education of youth.
Numerous capital improvements have occurred at La Salle High School since 1960.
Some of these include the following events. In 1974, an annex was added to the
building for the band and wrestling programs. In 1979, athletic fields were
constructed behind St. Joseph Orphanage. The gym was renovated in 1986 and the
computer lab in 1989. In 1991, Lancer Stadium was built. New science labs were
created in 1992. New computer labs were completed in the west wing of the building
in 1994. In 1997, the new De La Salle Memorial Center opened to house the Pride of
La Salle Band and facilities for year-round athletic conditioning. The renovation of
the original classrooms began in 2000, along with the creation of a fourth computer
lab. In 2001, a fifth computer lab was added along with the renovation of the entire
visual arts learning area. In 2002, the faculty room was renovated. In 2004, a new
wing containing our De La Salle Chapel, science labs, and library/media center
opened; other improvements in 2004 included the construction of our new wonderful
courtyard, expanded parking and site work, a new educational resource center, and
renovated physics labs. In 2006, major renovations to our Lancer Stadium occurred,
including a new synthetic turf field named Marge Schott Field, a new track surface,
five new tennis courts, and an expanded press box.
In addition to our numerous capital improvements, La Salle High School has been
moving in a strong forward direction through advances in technology. These
technological improvements were outlined in the 2006-2009 La Salle High School
Technology Plan which included integration of technology literacy within
appropriate curriculum; conversion of the school to a wireless environment through
the purchase of a wireless laptop cart; development of wireless hotspots throughout
the building; purchase of Interactive Video Distance Learning equipment; provision
of tablet PCs to the faculty; development and implementation of weekly
technological in-services for faculty training; continuation, development and
increased use of Moodle (online class portal) and the La Salle High School home
web page. In 2009, the entire building received a complete wireless infrastructure
upgrade; a new state of the art broadcasting and video editing studio was created
with the capability to broadcast live throughout the school; the library was converted
to a media center; and a professional development center was created to assist the
faculty in technological advancement.
In 2009, the De La Salle Signum Fidei Institute was created for the purpose of
creating greater opportunity for our entire student body to become servant
leaders who will have the experience and confidence to ethically lead in a 21st
Century environment and be instilled with a faith-guided passion to apply his gifts
and talents to better his local and global communities. This program is being phased
in and will be fully implemented by the 2013-2014 school year. During the 2010-2011 school year, La
Salle proudly celebrates a special anniversary honoring the school’s first 50 years of excellence.
The La Salle High School senior class of 2011 received over $14.2 million dollars in college scholarship offers
La Salle High School is a college-preparatory Catholic institution guided by Jesus Christ and rooted in the teachings of St. John Baptist de La Salle. In partnership with parents, we educate young men of all backgrounds, encouraging each student to reach his maximum potential: mind, body, and spirit. We strive to develop every student into a servant leader, equipped with the experience and confidence to lead ethically in a 21st century environment.
Jeff Royer was selected for the Mick Owens Outstanding Teacher Award for the 2010-2011 school year, the highest honor that a teacher can receive at La Salle High School.
Jeff is alumnus from the graduating class of 2000 at La Salle. After La Salle, Jeff attended Xavier University to become a teacher and then returned to La Salle to share his talents as an educator. He has been a teacher at La Salle for six years. Jeff teaches French I, French II, French III, AP French and Freshmen English American Studies. He is a club moderator for our French Club, Fencing Club, and involved in our leadership development program as a Signum Fidei Foundation Director.
When I asked Jeff the most rewarding part about being a teacher he responded, “I've enjoyed seeing students come back, in college, and now, out of college, and have been amazed at what good men they are.”
Jeff truly demonstrates what it means to be a La Salle Lancer.
