DE LA SALLE SCHOLARS

DURING THE 2021–22 SPRING BREAK, senior De La Salle Scholars traveled to Belize where they toured the Mayan sites of Lamanai and Xunantunich, made chocolate using traditional Mayan techniques, and learned about the different cultural groups, languages, and traditions in Belize. Students also participated in ziplining and cave-tubing tours, a guided jungle survival experience, and a planting activity with a local environmental organization. They also learned about Belizean flora and fauna by snorkeling in the Hol Chan Marine Reserve, visiting the conservation-focused Belize Zoo, touring the Chaa Creek Butterfly Farm and Natural History Museum, and hiking in the jungle.

IN MAY 2022, incoming De La Salle Scholars enjoyed spring orientation at Upward Enterprises, where students enjoyed team-building activities and ropes course challenges.

IN FEB. 2022, juniors in the De La Salle Scholars Program traveled to Boston to visit Boston College, Boston University, Emerson College, Harvard University, and Northeastern University. Students also met with several alumni scholars to learn about their college experiences. Thank you to Maria Ascanio Aliño (SJC ’19, MIT ’23), Thomas Kresina (SJC ’20, Northeastern ’24), and Hannah Aguirre (SJC ’20, Northeastern ’24) for sharing their insight with our students.
