De La Salle Collegiate

100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY |  1926 - 2026

For nearly a century, De La Salle Collegiate has formed young men of faith, character, and leadership—grounded in the Lasallian tradition and committed to excellence in mind, body, and spirit.
 
As we celebrate our 100-Year Anniversary, we honor the generations of Pilots who have walked our halls since 1926, the educators and Christian Brothers who shaped their journeys, and the families, alumni, and supporters who carried the mission forward.
 
This centennial moment is both a reflection of a proud legacy and a bold step into the future, renewing our promise to educate young men who will lead with integrity, serve with compassion, and make a lasting impact on the world.

Honoring the Groundbreaking that Sparked 100 Years of Lasallian Excellence

November 15, 2025

On November 15, 1925, the Christian Brothers and the Board of Trustees stood together on an empty plot of land, on the corner of Conner and Glenfield, envisioning a future rooted in faith, brotherhood, and excellence, and broke ground on De La Salle Collegiate.

To honor that legacy, our current leadership team recently restaged the original 1925 groundbreaking photo, capturing a powerful image that connects our past to our present. Just as the original Board of Directors and Brothers did a century ago, today’s leaders stand committed to guiding De La Salle Collegiate into its next 100 years with the same spirit of mission and purpose.
