De La Salle North High School is a private, coeducational, Roman Catholic high school in Portland, Oregon, United States. It is a part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland. The school is located in the Cully neighborhood, co-locating with the St. Charles Parish; De La Salle renovated the old parish elementary school wing and built a commons, courtyard and gymnasium. The doors to the new campus were opened on September 7, 2021.
De La Salle North Catholic High School was founded in 2001. It is sponsored by the De La Salle Christian Brothers and is a part of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon. The founding president was Matthew D. Powell. The current president is Ashleigh de Villiers, and the current interim principal is Maria Cabrera. De La Salle was one of the founding members of the Cristo Rey Network of high schools, the first school after Cristo Rey Jesuit High School Chicago to follow this model. By 2018, there were 37 schools in the network.
De La Salle North Catholic serves young men and women of the Portland metro area with limited resources. The school turns no one away because of an inability to pay. An integrated Corporate Work Study Program enables students to earn a large portion of their tuition. Students attend class four days a week and work for a local company one day, gaining work experience, business contacts, and preparing them for education at a four-year college.[2][3]
Activities
Clubs sponsored by the school have included Anime, Art, Chess, Earth, Hiking, Latinx, Magic, Math, Poetry, Sci Fi, Spectrum. Other activities have included: cheerleading, Peer Helpers, Student Council, and Constitution Team.[4] Service projects, retreats, and leadership opportunities are offered through the Lasallian Youth Ministry department.[5]
