Something For Everyone 2023-2024

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

HOW DO STUDENTS GET INVOLVED?

Freshmen are invited to attend an Activity Fair, which is held the third week of school during free periods and features all of the clubs and activities that the school has to offer.

The Daily Bulletin posts meeting times and scheduled events for all clubs and activities, which are open to all students and emailed each day.

Each club and activity has their own Schoology page, where all information can be found and communication occurs.

The school website lists all clubs and activities as well as email addresses for the moderators so students can email the respective moderator with questions and/or ask to join the club.

Students, especially freshmen, are encouraged to see the Assistant Dean of Students (Director of Student Activities) should they have questions about the various clubs. They can also speak with their grade-level counselor or homeroom teacher in regard to ways to get involved.

Students communicate and connect with other students and ask what club(s) they are attending or have attended as fellow students will give honest advice and recommendations for clubs of which they are members.

Students make use of Community Time to meet with clubs and activities.

TECHNOLOGY CLUBS

COMPUTER LAB MANAGERS are part of a nationallyrecognized program that is one of a kind. The program functions like a sports team and allows tech students to work side-by-side with the Chief Information Officer and Network Administrator to run the network and website at La Salle College High School. The ultimate goal of this “team” is to make La Salle Technology the best of any school in the country. Students gain priceless experiential learning that goes hand in hand with any certifications that they have earned through the school’s advanced Microsoft IT Academy.

WEB MANAGERS assist the Director of Web Communications in various web projects throughout the year. The Web Site Managers primarily work on projects for the La Salle College High School Web Site, but also are committed to participating in web-based Community TechServe projects for non-profit organizations in need of web site assistance.

CHARACTER IS OUR PRIORITY

STUDENT GOVERNMENT

The Student Government Association or Student Council is comprised of a four-member executive board, class officers, class senators, and faculty moderators. The Student Council, under the direction of the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer oversees the individual class councils and coordinates all council activities. The Class Council is headed by an elected Class President and Vice President for each of the four classes and elected homeroom senators. Activities organized at this level include intramural teams, proms or dances, Field Day, and other activities planned by the class and the Class Moderator. Any student may participate in or help with the various class activities.

ACTIVITIES SPONSORED BY THE STUDENT COUNCIL

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS

WISTERIAN, the school newspaper, provides an opportunity for students to report on news around the La Salle College High School community. Consisting of news, features, sports, and editorials, the Wisterian promotes better writing in a variety of disciplines and offers aspiring writers the satisfaction of being published.

BLUE AND GOLD is the school’s yearbook. It strives to capture the events of the year through photographs and words. Staff members have the opportunity to develop skills in decision making and time management. In addition, students explore their own creative talents through writing, photography, and page design.

GAZEBO, the school’s literary magazine, offers all students an opportunity to publish creative writing. Once works are submitted, the staff of the Gazebo begins the publishing process. The staff members are actively involved in material selection, editing, and copy preparation. The reward for the staff culminates with the distribution of the literary magazine twice a year.

SPEECH AND DEBATE PROGRAM

Speech and Debate (Forensics) offers students unique opportunities to develop public speaking skills in the areas of persuasion, argumentation, discussion, and interpretation. Through participation in an on-going program of weekly interscholastic contests at local and midAtlantic area schools, students develop poise, confidence, and listening skills. “Leadership Through Speech” is the motto of the National Catholic Forensic League.

The team has won the Valley Forge NSDA District Speech Sweepstakes twice in the last six years (2018, 2021).

In the last three years, the team has been recognized with national success at the invitationals hosted by Yale University, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard University, George Mason University, and Saint Joseph’s University. Additionally, multiple awards have been achieved from the Tournament of Champions (hosted by the University of Kentucky), the National Catholic Forensics League, and the National Speech and Debate Association. In 2018, Patrick Kelly ’18, placed 2nd in Informative Speaking at the National Speech and Debate Association. Locally, the team remains a dominant presence having won the State District 11 title consecutively from 2005-2023.

MOCK TRIAL has students “trying” a case by taking the role of attorney and/or witness against a team from other schools. This affords the students an opportunity to see the case from the perspective of the prosecutor, defense attorney, witness, and the accused.

THEATRE PROGRAM

With over one hundred La Salle students along with girls from surrounding high schools, La Salle’s theatre program is recognized as one of the top programs in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Producing two shows per year, the theatre program offers students the opportunity to become involved in and learn every aspect of the theatre from performance; playing as a member of the pit orchestra; to every aspect of designing and running a show. One of the unique aspects of the program is that the student gets the responsibility of truly managing a full scale production.
