With a mission to educate the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – De La Salle offers a rigorous liberal arts curriculum, a vibrant co-curricular program, and a deeply supportive community grounded in faith, service, and inclusion. The College’s historic 12-acre campus is home to a dynamic learning environment where students are challenged to grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially, preparing them to lead lives of purpose and impact.

De La Salle College is now seeking its next President, a visionary and mission-driven leader to guide the school into its next chapter. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to lead a respected institution at a pivotal moment of renewal and growth. The incoming President will play a critical role in ensuring continuity, while at the same time, bringing innovative ideas and energy to strengthening community relationships and advancing the College’s strategic vision.
