“We often judge ourselves harshly for what didn’t get done while overlooking the marathon we completed. Look again. With grace..” -Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis

As De La Salle reopens for on-campus learning, to be successful, it will take every member of our community; students, parents, faculty and staff.  To hold each and every one of us all accountable to each other, we have established a set of commitments and expectations to follow.  These guidelines define our shared responsibility for common health and safety, informed by science and rooted in the respect we have for one another.  We ask all students to help us protect the community that is De La Salle by taking part in the following pledge.
