A Catholic Education at La Salle A faith-filled message from Michael Deyhle, Salutatorian By Sharon Folzenlogen We have all had the privilege to listen to young speakers at other high school graduation ceremonies express their gratitude to family, friends, members of the board of education and the community for their successful high school careers. In that public forum, they are not allowed to share the personal impact of their faith or their God. At the La Salle High School Baccalaureate Mass, just the opposite is true. On May 26, 2008, Michael Deyhle’s salutatorian address to his fellow graduates acknowledged the influence of family and friends during his high school education. But his third point, and one well made, was the impact of a Catholic education on each graduate. 4 Lancer Newsletter The Catholic education at La Salle High School has allowed us to create an extensive relationship with God while receiving unrivaled education and future preparation. La Salle High School’s teachers and faculty have challenged each individual in mind, body, and spirit to become the best version of himself. Through these challenges and through the unparalleled resources made available to us, La Salle fostered the growth of the morals and innate skills that make us unique, thus giving us the tools to create a better world than that into which we were born. La Salle High School has allowed us to create lasting friendships with teachers and staff who have become mentors throughout our tenure in high school. A Catholic education has also allowed us to give back to those who have promoted our success. Students are enabled to give back to the community through Christian service hours and to their parents through scholarship money and job skills...” “We are fully aware that every day is a gift from God…” (An excerpt from Michael Deyhle’s salutatorian address.) Michael’s Kairos Retreat had the most impact on him in the four years at La Salle. “This retreat was important to me because of the unity it built between fellow classmates and myself,” Michael reflects, “in addition to the newfound appreciation I discovered for my family and friends.” Michael will attend the University of Dayton majoring in biology. He hopes to one day enter the field of medicine so that “I can help people improve their health and well being while doing something I love.” Michael earned eight scholarships and grants including the President’s Merit Scholarship and an athletic scholarship to the University of Dayton. “So now let us conclude our time at La Salle as it began - in prayer,” said Timothy Moeller at the end of his valedictorian address.
