Warren, MI — De La Salle Collegiate proudly announces its 100th Anniversary Centennial Celebration, marking a century of forming young men in faith, brotherhood, and academic excellence since its founding in 1926.

 

For 100 years, De La Salle has been more than a school. It has been a place where young men are challenged to grow into leaders, where friendships become lifelong brotherhoods, and where a commitment to faith, service, and hard work shapes lives far beyond graduation. Generations of Pilots have carried these values into their families, careers, and communities, building a legacy that now spans an entire century.

 

The Centennial celebration will bring together alumni, families, and friends of the De La Salle community to honor this milestone while looking ahead to the future of the institution and the continued impact of its mission.

 

“As we celebrate 100 years of De La Salle, we reflect with gratitude on the generations who have built this legacy and look forward with purpose to those who will carry it forward,” said Dan Rohn, Chief Operating Officer of De La Salle Collegiate. “This Centennial is a moment to come together as a community and celebrate what makes De La Salle so special.”
