My name is Armond and I am a 2019 La Salle Middle School graduate and currently a Sophomore at Cardinal Ritter High School. I consider myself to be a A and B student, with my favorite subject to be Composition and Grammar. It’s the least frustrating class out of the eight I have on my schedule. I play basketball and am considering joining the football team again next year if everything goes back to normal. My transition from LSMS to Cardinal Ritter was fairly easy besides having to get up earlier and managing homework from all eight of my classes. CRCP is overall a great school. Teachers really want to see you succeed and help you get to where you need to be. They’re big on motivating us, especially now. After high school, I see myself playing sports or getting into the construction industry.

Each year on September 11, we honor our first responders with some thank you treats and letters from the students, including this one from one of our esteemed 8th graders. While this year was a bit different, we were still able to give a huge "Thank You!" Dear first responders, Thank you for how much help and the work you do for all communities: the fires you put out, the people you save. You have inspired me to be an EMT and to help people as well. You have shown me how impo...rtant it is to help people in need. Your work isn’t an easy job and is not for everybody, but every day you come to work not knowing if you will see the next. Thank you for all the work and time you put into saving lives. Thank you so much. Sincerely, Aiya A., 8th grade

Attention all first responders! Please join us tomorrow morning for some grab and go goodies.

Hello, my name is Mr. Futrell. This is my 3rd year teaching History/Social Studies. I am a former police officer (St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department) and left before being promoted to Sergeant.

Our teachers are taking the necessary precautions to ensure safety during Professional Development.

La Salle teachers and staff are preparing for the start of the new school year modeling new processes and procedures for entering the school building.

The EnCompass Team continues to offer our high school students academic and financial support. Director, Tarri Strickland was able to chat with DE SMET High School freshman Sherod and his mom Sheronda about his transition into high school. Freshman year is the most challenging. He is still working hard to achieve his academic goals. This year he was a part of varsity football which earned him a state championship ring. He did make varsity for track this season but the season was cut short due to the COVID19 crisis. We wish him luck on the upcoming school year!

Juneteenth -- a blending of the words June and nineteenth -- is the oldest regular US celebration of the end of slavery. It commemorates June 19, 1865: the day that Union Army Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas, and told slaves of their emancipation. That day came more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Happy Juneteenth!

We are currently enrolling to help transform the lives of students and families.
