CABINET LETTER FROM CHRIS GARAVAGILA

|
|
Dear De La Salle Community,
I hope you enjoyed a blessed Holy Week and a relaxing and joyful Easter break. It is hard to believe how quickly this school year has flown by! Just around the corner, we will have our Founder’s Liturgy, AP Exams, Teacher Appreciation Week, Student Recognition Assembly, and final exam preparation, along with a multitude of co-curricular activities, and our Baccalaureate Mass and Graduation. What a year it has been so far, and I am so excited to be wrapping up my first full year at De La Salle after officially starting mid-year last year! I am honored and thrilled to be a part of this incredible community and feel so blessed to call De La Salle my home.
My primary job is to ensure the financial stability and viability of De La Salle High School by safeguarding our resources so we can fulfill our mission. Our financial condition is strong; our upcoming 2024-25 budget is balanced, and we continue to ensure the Christian Brothers’ mission to be accessible is met.
