Step into history—and celebrate the future.
Join De La Salle Collegiate for its 100 Year Anniversary Gala on Saturday, October 3, 2026 at the iconic Detroit Institute of Arts. This unforgettable evening brings our centennial celebration full circle, returning to a venue that holds deep significance in our story. In the 1940s and 1950s, De La Salle proudly held its commencement ceremonies within these very walls—making this gala not just a celebration, but a homecoming.
Surrounded by world-class art and timeless architecture, alumni, families, and friends will gather to honor 100 years of Catholic, Lasallian education in Metro Detroit. The evening will feature an elegant program, meaningful reflections on our legacy, and a shared vision for the future of De La Salle Collegiate.
