Dear Members of the La Salle College High School Family, This is indeed a time of “Grace and Favor from the Lord” at La Salle College High School! Each day, our school is bustling with an incredible diversity of academic, extracurricular, and athletic endeavors. In most of those activities, we experience a level of success few schools could aspire to. Programs and facilities alike are in a phase of expansion and development. Truly, there is no better – or more important – time in an organization’s life to consider strategic initiatives for the future than when things are going well. Not to engage in such reflection is to invite self-satisfaction at best and entropy at worst to take ahold. This publication presents to you La Salle’s third strategic plan in recent years. To inspire it, we returned to the core values of our Lasallian Mission and Catholic identity. To ground it, we sought input from hundreds of alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and educators from cooperating institutions. To create it, we considered the key elements that will propel us into being the school we wish to become: instruction; other programming;

a Christian community created by a diverse student body and staff. To support it, we considered the goals in enrollment, advancement, and facilities enhancement which will allow us to deliver an ever broader platform of educational services. We present to you, La Salle: A Vision for the Third Decade of the New Millennium with gratitude for the input of so many constituents, with confidence that we can achieve its aims, and with optimism for the future it constructs. Most importantly of all, we present it with the conviction that we build God’s house here at La Salle College High School, echoing the words of our Founder, “Lord, the work is Yours.” For the Governance and Leadership of the School,
Brother James L. Butler, FSC President
Robert P. Moran, ’69 Chairman, Board of Trustees

The Oscar Romero Prayer by Bishop Kenneth Untener
It helps now and then to step back and take a long view. The Kingdom is not only beyond our efforts, it is beyond our vision. We accomplish in our lifetime only a fraction of the magnificent enterprise that is God’s work. Nothing we do is complete, which is another way of saying that the kingdom always lies beyond us. No statement says all that could be said. No prayer fully expresses our faith. No confession brings perfection, no pastoral visit brings wholeness. No program accomplishes the Church’s mission. No set of goals and objectives include everything.
This is what we are about. We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water the seeds already planted knowing that they hold future promise. We lay foundations that will need further development. We provide yeast that produces effects far beyond our capabilities. We cannot do everything, and there is a sense of liberation in realizing this. This enables us to do something, and to do it very well. It may be incomplete, but it is a beginning, a step along the way, an opportunity for the Lord’s grace to enter and do the rest. We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers, not master builders, ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future not our own.

With a developed awareness about diversity formed by exposure to and dialog about differences of thought and background, our students and graduates will be able to thrive in a world that is increasingly interconnected and global-minded.
