Dear De La Salle Families:

Before summer is in full swing, we have one final Spartan Spotlight to share some noteworthy updates – including a new student trip to Italy in April 2026, the appointment of our new Director of Alumni and Family Engagement, and details about De La Salle Summer Camps. In addition, please be mindful that there is still some work to complete before your son returns to campus in August. For instance, some students have reading assignments to complete, so be sure to check out the Summer Reading List. Also, be sure to review the 2025-26 Year at a Glance calendar, and the Back-to-School Checklist for the upcoming academic year will be available on July 1st.

Next month, be on the lookout for an email from President David Holquin, as well as one in late July from Vice Presidents Dr. Heather Alumbaugh and Spencer Shively, as these will contain important information for the next school year. 

Lastly, we want to extend our congratulations once again to the Class of 2025. If you haven't yet seen the photos from a couple of weeks ago, you can check them out on our graduation page. 

We hope that all of our families have a restful and relaxing summer break and we look forward to seeing your son back on campus the week of August 11th.

Graduation for the Class of 2025 took place on Sunday, May 18 at Owen Owens Field. You can find links to photo galleries for all of our graduation events (including Baccalaureate Mass), plus the graduation webcast, on our Graduation Information webpage.

On May 20th, we held our annual Academic Awards Night to celebrate the academic achievements of the freshman, sophomore, and junior student body. In total, more than 170 students were recognized for their accomplishments in English, Health, Physical Education & Recreation (HPER), Mathematics, Religious Studies, Science, Social Studies, Visual & Performing Arts, and World Languages during the 2024-25 school year.

The 2025 De La Salle Summer Reading List is available on the school's website. The reading list includes English, Science, Social Studies, and HPER classes. Not all students will have summer reading assignments, so we encourage you to review the list carefully. 

All students with summer reading assignments are required to complete their tasks by the first day of classes on August 13, 2025.

Would your son like to visit Italy with other De La Salle students? If so, World Languages teacher Franco Reguzzoni has organized a trip to Italy in April of 2026. During the trip, De La Salle students will visit Rome, Assisi, Florence, and Venice. Follow the link below for complete details about the trip. Spots are limited, so register early for this unique learning experience.  The current price is guaranteed until July 1, but is subject to change after that date.

De La Salle is thrilled to welcome Clayton Tanner '06 as the Director of Alumni and Family Engagement. A proud De La Salle graduate, Clayton will lead efforts to strengthen connections among alumni, families, and the school community. Clayton’s passion, energy, and deep ties to De La Salle will animate the school's goal to foster a culture of philanthropy through a vibrant and engaged alumni and family network.

The De La Salle spring sports season is coming to a close, but there has been alot of excitement for the Athletics program over the past three months. Recently, the baseball team won the North Coast Section (NCS) Division 1 title and will play in the semifinals of the CIF NorCal Championships at home against St. Mary's (Stockton) tonight, at home. The golf team won their fifth straight NCS Championship, before placing first at the CIF NorCal Regionals and tied for second at the CIF State Championships. The track & field team won the EBAL Championship, before earning NCS Tri-Valley and NCS Meet of Champions titles.

Several Spartans competed at last weekend's CIF State Track & Field Meet, where they secured a sixth place state finish. Jaden Jefferson was the state champion in the 100m with a time of 10.27, after setting a state record with a time of 10.01 in the prelims.  The swimming & diving team won EBAL and NCS championships, before placing 12th at the CIF State Meet.
