De La Salle North Catholic High School

De La Salle North Catholic High School serves a racially diverse population of capable, motivated and interested college-bound students from the Portland area who would not otherwise have access to a faith-based, rigorous college-preparatory education. De La Salle North Catholic High School provides a faith-based, college-preparatory high school education to underserved students from the Portland area.

Our mission is to provide an affordable, college preparatory, faith-based education to young men and women throughout the Portland metro area with limited financial resources. Over 325 years ago, St. John Baptist de La Salle, the founder of the De La Salle Christian Brothers and their schools, established the practice of providing a Christian education to the young, especially those who are most on the margins of society.

De La Salle North Catholic High School opened in 2001 to provide a faith-based, college preparatory high school education to underserved students from the Portland area. These families needed and wanted a viable and affordable choice of schools to send their student.

Other private high schools in and around Portland were not an option for most of them because of the cost and the distance their student would have to travel to go to school each day.They spoke out and said "put your school right here in our neighborhood." De La Salle was the first school to replicate the innovative Corporate Work Study Program pioneered by Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Chicago.

Thank you for visiting the De La Salle North Catholic High School Admissions page. Each academic year greets us with an opportunity to welcome a new group of interested and ambitious students who are ready to embrace the diverse, faith-based, college preparatory education De La Salle North Catholic (DLSNC) offers.

De La Salle North Catholic HS is proud to offer your family two ways to participate in an Open House this year! Open House is a great way for families and prospective students to experience our community firsthand, meet faculty, staff, and students, and tour our brand new campus, including classrooms, courtyard, Commons, and our state-of-the-art gym.
