Jen Healy letter-LaSalle Newsletter
Dear Alumni, Friends, and Benefactors,
The LaSalle Program is pleased to present you with the first issue of the LaSalle Newsletter. This semi-annual publication will update you on exciting happenings within the program as well as stories about some of our graduates. Each edition will provide the opportunity to strengthen your connection with LaSalle graduates and current LaSalle scholars. We hope to foster networking, create mentoring relationships, and build new support structures for the program at large.
As we mark our 34th year of the La Salle Program at Calvert Hall, much has changed. We began in 1985 with 12 students and two staff; we now have a staff of seven serving 60 students/year. We’ve had a few name changes along the way—Xavier became La Salle; Cruz became Healy. Our center has moved three times; staff has come and gone. Our alumni now total 336 and include lawyers, engineers, entrepreneurs and doctors.
Despite the changes, the program has remained true to its original mission. Our goal remains to help students thrive rather than just survive high school. La Salle students continue to be involved in all aspects of life at the Hall from sports to theater, student council, leadership, campus ministry, art, music and more.
This past year, our graduating class of 11 earned over $1.8 million dollars in academic scholarships. The first son of an alum graduated; two more are currently enrolled and two more are applying. The Program continues to be sought after in large part due to the continued support of the administration and incredible dedication of the teachers.
We truly have much to be proud of and to celebrate. Thank you for being a part of our rich history. If you have time for a visit, we’d love to see you!
Best wishes for a healthy and happy holiday season,
Jennifer Cruz Healy
