Classroom Experience
The Religious Studies Department calls each student to develop abilities that reflect respect, responsibility and integrity. By studying the teachings of Jesus, we reveal how the Holy Spirit works within each of us. It is through these studies that our students grow as both individuals and children of God.

Service Requirement:
In addition to the work inside the classroom, a minimum of 20 hours per year of service is required for each student. This work with the poor and marginalized is a vital component of a Lasallian Catholic education. These experiences prepare our young men for lives of service to their communities.
