From The Hip<br />

One of my favorite titles is “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”,<br />

the award-winning short story by Joyce Carol Oates. Although the plot has no<br />

connection or correlation to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>, the title certainly<br />

applies to changes and developments at the school over the last few years.<br />

I remember my father telling me stories about <strong>La</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> students<br />

who occupied the second and third floors of Wister Hall on the campus of<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> in the late 1950’s. In 1960, the school made the historic move<br />

to a new building located in the rolling hills of Wyndmoor. As a student in the<br />

late 1970’s and early 1980’s, I experienced firsthand a school that was head and<br />

shoulders above the rest; however, never could I have imagined the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> of today.<br />

Over the last twenty years, the school has acquired adjoining properties and<br />

homes – Alumni House, Dunleavy Center, and Allinson House – have created a<br />

bona fide campus. In September of 1993, St. Michael Hall opened. The five-level<br />

addition featuring the McShain Library and state-of-the-art classrooms brought<br />

art and technology to the forefront of the school’s curriculum. Nine years<br />

later, the West Wing was built and provided much needed space for music<br />

and athletics.<br />

In 2004, the Board of Trustees adopted a Strategic Plan that identified the key<br />

needs and priorities of the school over the next five years. The Board’s vision and<br />

overall commitment to the school’s mission launched Fulfilling The Promise, a<br />

$25 million capital campaign for land acquisition, construction, renovations, and<br />

financial aid.<br />

In 2007, the school acquired the 34-acres adjacent to Route 309 and Paper Mill<br />

Road. Shortly thereafter, the land was developed into Ward Field, a baseball<br />

complex that rivals some minor league ballparks, along with McCarthy Trail, the<br />

Brother Gratian of Jesus Environmental Center, and two additional practice fields<br />

for football, soccer, and/or lacrosse.<br />

In the spring of 2007, construction began on a 40,000 square foot, four-level<br />

academic wing that houses a counseling center, campus ministry area, study<br />

commons, two laboratories, six classrooms, and a technology center. At the<br />

center of the new addition is the Marian Chapel, which for the first time,<br />

provides a dedicated place of worship within the school. Upon completion of the<br />

new wing, renovations began to McLean Hall. All of the original academic areas<br />

were sequentially renovated as were the administrative areas. New walls, ceilings,<br />

floors/carpeting, windows, HVAC, etc. brought new life to an aging building.<br />

The final pieces of equipment moved out in late August and 1,069 boys moved in<br />

on September 9, 2009. The facilities that these boys occupy are nothing short of<br />

magnificent. Visitors stand in awe of new buildings and the technology operating<br />

within. Nothing is outdated and everything shines, including the faces of the<br />

faculty and students.<br />

I walk the hallways and grounds and marvel at our accomplishments. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> has a long and storied history – one that makes us proud<br />

of what we have and where we have been. Where are we going? Let’s just say<br />

that the vision is clear and the future is bright. More importantly, it is a future in<br />

which everyone will want to have a part.<br />

Fulfilling<br />

The Promise<br />

by Christopher M. Carabello ’82 page 3<br />

At the inaugural Founder’s Gala held in April of 2006, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> launched one of the most ambitious initiatives the school<br />

has ever undertaken. The $25 million capital campaign, Fulfilling the Promise,<br />

is the largest fundraising effort in the history of the school. The campaign is<br />

aptly named after our founder, Saint John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, and his promise to<br />

educate young men of various backgrounds. The success of the campaign would rely<br />

on support from the entire <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> community and the results of these efforts<br />

would benefit the school’s greatest asset – our students as a commitment to provide<br />

the best possible education and facilities for these young men continues to be<br />

at the forefront of the school’s mission and vision.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is an institution rich in<br />

history and tradition. The “promise” is not limited<br />

to the mission of our Founder and, in fact, is evident<br />

every day. The dedication of our faculty and their<br />

promise to develop each student’s unique God-given<br />

talents. The commitment of the school administration<br />

and their promise to foster academic excellence,<br />

service, and leadership. The faithfulness of our parents<br />

and their promise to provide their son(s) with the best<br />

possible education. The loyalty of our alumni and their<br />

promise to take ownership in the school’s future.<br />

The “promise” is at the core our very being. In the<br />

151 years since our founding at St. Michael Parish in<br />

North Philadelphia, our greatest resource has been our<br />

mission and vision and our willingness and commitment<br />

to share it with the entire <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> community.<br />

Today, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> continues to fulfill<br />

its promise by providing an education that consists of<br />

academic challenge, intellectual openness, emotional<br />

security, and environmental safety. It was fitting that<br />

Fulfilling The Promise be chosen as the name of this<br />

$25 million capital campaign.<br />

Charlie Dunleavy ’61 assumed the helm as the initial<br />

Chairman of the campaign and was instrumental in<br />

soliciting gifts that allowed the campaign to reach<br />

$10 million. Al Gabriele succeeded Charlie early in<br />

2008 as the Chairman of the Campaign.<br />

Al recognized that like the first $10 million, raising the<br />

remaining $15 million would require focused leadership<br />

and the efforts of a dedicated group of individuals.<br />

Over the course of the last eighteen months,<br />

the capital campaign has raised $20 million, which<br />

includes a major estate gift for endowment that represents<br />

the largest gift in the history of the school and<br />

two seven figure gifts from alumni that provide naming<br />

opportunities for the new baseball field as well as<br />

the Sacred Heart Courtyard.<br />

One of the most remarkable<br />

The $20 million that has already been raised secures<br />

the land acquisition and development along with<br />

the construction of the new academic building and<br />

renovations to McLean Hall. Not only have the initial<br />

phases of construction been completed, but the<br />

projects are within the original budget. The remaining<br />

$5 million represents the funds that are needed to<br />

“fulfill” the endowment commitment to the<br />

campaign, which will provide financial aid and allow<br />

the school to keep its “promise” to remain<br />

competitive and provide an affordable education<br />

for all young men.


5 Explorer Fall 2009<br />

Al Gabriele continues to work tirelessly with the<br />

Office of Institutional Advancement and the Capital<br />

Campaign Committee to stay focused on the vision<br />

and the task at hand.<br />

With very little corporate or foundation money<br />

available, the remaining efforts will rely heavily on<br />

contributions from alumni, parents, and other friends<br />

of the school.<br />

Faced with the task of raising an additional $5 million,<br />

Al has expanded the campaign cabinet to include<br />

a number of individuals who will play a key role in<br />

identifying parents, classmates, and other alumni<br />

who represent a new pool of potential donors. Al will<br />

focus on major prospects and contributions, while the<br />

campaign cabinet will be charged with the solicitation<br />

of new donors as well as act as ambassadors for the<br />

campaign within the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Community.<br />

The campaign will begin the solicitation of all alumni,<br />

parents, past parents, friends of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, foundations,<br />

and those people and parties whose philanthropic<br />

interests include a quality education. By waiting until<br />

80% of the campaign goal has already been reached,<br />

the campaign cabinet can solicit from a position of<br />

strength. In addition, the new fields and buildings<br />

provide recognition for both the campaign and the<br />

strategic plan and allow the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Community to<br />

see the objectives that have already been achieved.<br />

An appeal to the entire <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> community has begun<br />

and the campaign cabinet is confident that the “<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Faithful” will rise in support of these initiatives<br />

and continue to “fulfill its promise” to the school’s<br />

mission and vision.<br />

achievements of the campaign is that the $20 million<br />

has been raised<br />

from only two hundred gifts.<br />

The Capital Campaign Cabinet has begun to target<br />

various classes in an effort to organize class gifts.<br />

Individuals who would be interested in contributing to<br />

a class gift, soliciting gifts from classmates, or assisting<br />

in organizing their class, should contact the Office of<br />

Institutional Advancement at (215) 223-2350. Additional<br />

information on Fulfilling The Promise can be<br />

obtained from the Office of Institutional Advancement<br />

Redefining Leadership<br />

In 1982, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> became an<br />

independent high school when it legally separated<br />

from <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> University. This formal break<br />

was the culmination of a natural progression that<br />

visibly started when the doors of 8605 Cheltenham<br />

Avenue first opened in 1960, and it marked<br />

the creation of the Board of Trustees. The authority<br />

and responsibility of the Board has evolved<br />

over the years, most dramatically over the past<br />

six years at the direction of the Provincial head<br />

of the Christian Brothers.<br />

Until June 2004, the Chairman of the Board was the<br />

Provincial Head of the Baltimore District of the Christian<br />

Brothers. In July 2004, a major milestone in <strong>La</strong><br />

<strong>Salle</strong>’s history was set as Al Gabriele became the first<br />

lay Chairman of the Board. Al and his wife, Barbara,<br />

have two sons who graduated from <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> (John ‘84<br />

and James ‘87), and he served in leadership roles on<br />

the Board since joining it in 1998. Prior to his election<br />

as Chair, Al played an active role in the Forever<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Campaign, as Chair of the Development<br />

Committee, and participated in the planning process<br />

for the 2004 Strategic Vision. As Chair, Al’s leadership,<br />

during a critical period of transition, forged a<br />

new direction for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and the function of the<br />

Board – which is exemplary among peer institutions.<br />

As part of the successful deployment of the 2004<br />

Strategic Vision, Al guided the launch of the Fulfilling<br />

the Promise Capital Campaign, of which he still serves<br />

as Campaign Chair. Al stewarded the renaissance<br />

envisioned by the 2004 Strategic Vision resulting in<br />

the new academic wing and athletic fields, and the<br />

total renovation of its existing academic facilities. Al’s<br />

term as Chair ended in June 2009 but because of his<br />

insight and management skills his impact on <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong><br />

will continue into the future.<br />

In February 2009, the Members elected Ben Ventresca<br />

’70 to be the next Board Chairman. Ben is a secondgeneration<br />

<strong>La</strong>sallian (his father Ben, Sr. graduated in<br />

the storied Class of 1945) and was followed by his<br />

two sons Ryan ‘95 and Gregory ‘96. While their sons<br />

were at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, both Ben and his wife Susan were<br />

actively involved in the school serving as Treasurers of<br />

the Men of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and the Mothers’ Club for three<br />

years and co-chairs of <strong>La</strong>Sale in 1993, 1994, and<br />

1995. Ben joined the Board in July 2001 and in 2003<br />

chaired one of the four task forces in the planning<br />

process that created the 2004 Strategic Vision. His<br />

task force developed the current model for fundraising,<br />

communications, and branding. Throughout the<br />

2004-2005 school year he played a leading role in the<br />

reorganization and transition needed to achieve the<br />

current model. During the eight years leading up to<br />

his election as Chair, he served as Chairman of the Institutional<br />

Advancement Committee for four years and<br />

as Board Vice-Chair for two years. He has also served<br />

as one of the two Vice-Chairmen of the Fulfilling the<br />

Promise Campaign.<br />

Today’s Board of Trustees works in association<br />

with the Institute of The Brothers of the Christian<br />

<strong>School</strong>s to define and protect the mission of<br />

the <strong>School</strong> in the tradition of the teachings of<br />

Saint John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. As envisioned<br />

by the Province, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s Board is a governing<br />

Board of limited jurisdiction. This structure<br />

allows the Institute to sponsor the school and<br />

to perpetuate the <strong>La</strong>sallian legacy through close<br />

association with the Trustees of the Board and<br />

the Administration.


11 Explorer Fall 2009<br />

The Board of Trustees is an active governing body<br />

that is comprised of twenty-nine men and women<br />

who bring unique expertise and perspectives to the<br />

challenge of leading and governing a progressive<br />

school that is guided by Roman Catholic principles<br />

and steeped in a rich <strong>La</strong>sallian tradition and heritage.<br />

The interests of the Christian Brothers are represented<br />

by three senior Members of the Christian Brothers<br />

Community. The Chairman is elected by the Corporate<br />

Members in consultation with the President and<br />

elected Trustees.<br />

The Trustees of the Board represent a melting pot of<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s heritage. They include people whose love<br />

for the <strong>School</strong> stems from having been the child of a<br />

former graduate, a “Brothers’ Boy”, a past parent, a<br />

past teacher/administrator, or from a recognition of<br />

the importance of a Catholic <strong>La</strong>sallian education in<br />

molding the men of tomorrow. These people share a<br />

passionate commitment to keeping the vision of De<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> alive and relevant to young boys and their<br />

families for decades to come.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s Board is a working board. The work of the<br />

Board is primarily performed at the Committee level,<br />

and the purpose of the quarterly Board meetings<br />

is to elicit a discussion that draws on the skills and<br />

knowledge of the Trustees to address selective issues.<br />

The Committees officially meet four times a year,<br />

but through their task forces and sub-committees<br />

individual Trustees meet on an almost-weekly basis.<br />

The four committees of the Board mirror its primary<br />

responsibilities and authority. They include: Finance<br />

and Property, Governance and Leadership, Institutional<br />

Advancement,and Long Range Planning and<br />

Mission. These committees work in concert with the<br />

administration, faculty, and staff as well as with other<br />

stakeholders as appropriate.<br />

As it embarks on a new Board year, in addition to the<br />

normal slate of responsibilities and issues that it will be<br />

addressing, there are two major initiatives that form its<br />

priorities. The first of these is the support of the successful<br />

launch and deployment of the Public Phase of<br />

the Fulfilling the Promise Capital Campaign.<br />

The second is the development of the 2010 Strategic<br />

Vision which will set the standard, and general roadmap,<br />

for what <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> will be in 2015. Both of these<br />

are critical to the long-range vitality of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is an outstanding<br />

place of learning and growth whose history is<br />

surpassed only by its potential for the future.<br />

The Board seeks to foster that potential by governing<br />

with a keen understanding of the needs and interests<br />

of each of the stakeholder groups that make up <strong>La</strong><br />

<strong>Salle</strong>. As the Board discerns the future of the <strong>School</strong>, it<br />

will continue to build upon <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s great legacy and<br />

redefine its relevance.

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>,<br />

a Catholic independent, college<br />

preparatory school for young<br />

men of varied backgrounds, is<br />

conducted in the tradition of<br />

St. John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

Through a broad and balanced,<br />

human and Christian education,<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

guides each student in the<br />

development of his unique<br />

God-given talents and fosters<br />

a commitment to academic<br />

excellence, service, and<br />

leadership.<br />

Letter From The President<br />

Dear Alums and Friends,<br />

As we begin our 151st year, we bring to an end two years of construction and renovations. I can assure you that<br />

everyone was happy to see the last pieces of equipment depart and the doors opened to our “new digs”. Our<br />

campus has been completely renewed and is ready to serve future generations of Explorers.<br />

We would not have been able to break ground and embark on construction, were it not for the early financial<br />

commitment of a select group of 200 faithful and loyal supporters of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Hence the<br />

pages of this publication contain not only information on our 2008-2009 Annual Fund, but also a snapshot of<br />

the extraordinary initial success of our capital campaign – Fulfilling the Promise. We still have a goal to reach, so<br />

I hope and pray that more of our faithful friends will show their support to the school and the campaign in the<br />

coming year to help guarantee the future success of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />

At the same time, your generosity has allowed the school to increase financial aid to families in need. The extra<br />

aid has been most helpful to families who desire a <strong>La</strong>sallian education for their sons, but may not be able to afford<br />

one. Saint John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> wanted education made available to all students and your support allows<br />

us to continue the mission of our Founder.<br />

I am often surprised to hear from alums who say that they haven’t been back to the campus since graduation.<br />

I always encourage them to visit our campus to see how much we have changed over the years. Without fail,<br />

everyone who takes me up on this invitation leaves with a greater pride in their <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. When in the area, be<br />

sure to make a visit part of your plans.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has positioned itself among the very best in the Delaware Valley. Recognition of our academic success<br />

at a national level was evident in our selection by the Siemens Foundation and the <strong>College</strong> Board to receive the<br />

Siemens Award for student participation and performance in Advanced Placement math, science, and technology<br />

courses. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was the only school in Pennsylvania to receive this honor. In addition, 83 students were<br />

recognized as AP Scholars (scoring a 3 or higher on three or more AP tests) and ten students were recognized<br />

as National Merit Finalists. The past academic year also saw <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> as a leader in every sport by winning eight<br />

championships along with State Championships in Hockey and <strong>La</strong>crosse. Over 150 students received All-Catholic<br />

recognition and <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> clearly established itself in its first year as a member of the PIAA.<br />

In May, 252 graduates left our campus having earned over $26 million in college scholarships. These young men<br />

will be attending colleges and universities in 22 states and the United Kingdom. We wish them every success as<br />

they begin these next four years.<br />

All of this would not have been possible without your support. I thank you for everything that you do in support<br />

of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>. Please join me in celebrating these good things and thank the Lord for His blessings<br />

upon <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />

Brother Richard Kestler, FSC ’60<br />

IN THE FUTURE<br />

Annual Report<br />

Of Giving<br />

2008/2009


16 Explorer Fall 2009<br />

By virtue of the generosity of the greater <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> community,<br />

2008/2009 Annual Giving initiatives raised over $910,000 in support<br />

of the institution. The 2008/2009 De <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Alumni Annual Fund,<br />

coupled with this year’s <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Responds Initiative, raised the majority<br />

of the funds in support of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />

In light of the economic landscape, we asked all of our alumni to make <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> a<br />

priority this year, and make a gift to the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Responds Initiative to help<br />

“Keep ‘em Blue & Gold”. This initiative proved to be exceptionally successful, and<br />

it has allowed us to address and re-address many financial aid situations.<br />

The Parent Annual Fund also once again drew strong support, raising over $130,000 in support of Professional<br />

Development. Also, there was once again great support from our internal <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> community to the<br />

Faculty/Staff Annual Fund, which supports the Student Emergency Fund.<br />

In an effort to keep the cost of a <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> education affordable to all qualified students, the school charges<br />

a tuition that only covers 83% of the actual expense to educate a student at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />

The remaining 17% comes from various fundraising initiatives – primarily the De <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Annual Fund. Each<br />

and every contribution has a real and immediate effect on our young men and their respective lives. We are<br />

grateful for your continued support.<br />

Letter From The Chairman of the Board of Trustees<br />

Dear Friend of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>,<br />

“A successful team beats with one heart.”<br />

This unattributed quote succinctly describes our <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> family as we pass from year to year. This past year has<br />

been remarkable for <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> for so many reasons.<br />

A student sells one more roll of wrapping paper…<br />

Just looking around the campus tells a story of accomplishment. Our students dedicate themselves to realizing<br />

their potential in the classroom, in the arts and technology, and in the forums of competition. Our faculty is<br />

recognized for the long-term impact they make on their students; our parents continue to amaze with their<br />

commitment and effectiveness; our Board and Administration are noted for their innovativeness and excellence;<br />

and our alumni continue to distinguish themselves on the world’s stage as well as in our hallowed walls.<br />

A mom attends the Spring Fashion Show and a dad takes his son to Camden Yards…<br />

Speaking of hallowed walls, our campus stands as a testament to the vision of Saint John Baptist. These state<br />

of the art buildings, fields, and open spaces are living monuments to the commitment to educate the whole<br />

student, and to provide an environment in which young men can grow in their faith and discover their potential<br />

again and again.<br />

An alum joins a foursome with his friends at the Annual Golf Outing…<br />

These accomplishments are earned by our students, teachers, parents, and all the stakeholders that make up <strong>La</strong><br />

<strong>Salle</strong> –this is the single heart pulsing throughout the school. But the reality is that none of this happens without<br />

the lifeblood provided by the ever-present fundraising effort. While <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> isn’t defined by its fundraising, it<br />

certainly is sustained by it.<br />

A teacher places a bid at the <strong>La</strong>Sale Silent Auction…<br />

Your enthusiastic support of the Annual Giving Campaign, the fundraising efforts of the Mothers ‘ Club, Men of<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and the Alumni Association make more than “a” difference, they make “all the” difference. Your support<br />

of the Capital Campaign is resulting in cementing the foundation on which <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> will continue to build<br />

the future.<br />

A friend calls to tell about a major gift that he/she wants to make to support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s future…<br />

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all that you have done in<br />

the past year and for all you will do in the coming months.<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />

Benjamin J. Ventresca, Jr. ’70<br />

Board of Trustees

The Christian Brothers’ morals and ethics combined with rigorous<br />

academic challenges and a sense of community are educational hallmarks,<br />

which lay the background necessary for personal and professional success.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> provided me with those tools from which I benefitted<br />

greatly. I support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> in an effort to ensure that other boys can receive the same.<br />

I support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> in order to<br />

give underprivileged young men from the inner city<br />

the same outstanding educational opportunity that<br />

I was fortunate enough to experience. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

<strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and the Christian Brothers mean the world to me.<br />

Without a doubt, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was and is the very best high school<br />

in the Philadelphia area. The Christian Brothers are the best<br />

educators and the most caring dedicated men I have ever<br />

encountered. Recalling my four years at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> brings<br />

thoughts of happiness and fulfillment.<br />

We support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> to enable deserving and qualified students to experience<br />

the same educational opportunities that we had as young men. Those opportunities in the unique<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> educational environment, at both 20th and Olney and the “new” <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> campus on<br />

Cheltenham Ave., which we experienced 40 to 50 years ago, gave us the tools, both academically<br />

and spiritually, to confront the diverse challenges of life. Today’s <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> clearly demonstrates<br />

a continuing and very high standard of excellence across the board, in each of the key educational<br />

“need” areas of academics, spirituality, athletics and facilities.<br />

We were privileged to attend <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, and continue to support their educational legacy and the mission of the Christian Brothers, which<br />

is developing and educating the whole person with the hope and the earnest desire that individuals of limited means can continue to<br />

experience an exceptional <strong>La</strong>sallian education.<br />

Historically, for more than 300 years, <strong>La</strong>sallian Institutions and the Christian Brothers, throughout the world, have meant devotion to<br />

education of the complete person as they carried out the life work of St. John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. Today, at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, a diminished group<br />

of dedicated Christian Brothers and a highly effective school faculty carry on the tradition of a human and Christian education in a<br />

continuing and awesomely superb manner, an education that is a powerful enabler in converting boys to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Gentlemen, and in<br />

preparing young men to address their future with confidence.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is the embodiment, along with the highly effective Christian Brother’s leadership and participation, in the<br />

ongoing implementation of the <strong>La</strong>sallian traditions at the very highest level.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> means a caring institution managed<br />

in the Christian Brothers tradition that tries, in many, many ways, to<br />

foster the development of better young men who will make a<br />

positive contribution to our society. I support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> because I think it is<br />

a unique and outstanding high school. It has had a positive impact on the lives<br />

of thousands of young men including me.<br />

the lives of countless young men. My support of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> ensures that the school can<br />

continue to do for others what it did for me. The success of its students and alums is tangible<br />

31 <strong>La</strong> Explorer <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> Fall 2009 <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> shared a campus with <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> until the fall of<br />

1960 when it moved from 20th Street and Olney Avenue to its present campus in<br />

Springfield Township, Montgomery County. The school was built on the on the former<br />

Belcroft estate of Clarence E. Brown and with the move, <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

remained in close proximity of the city, but had greater space in which to grow<br />

and develop.<br />

In 1992, the school began construction on a five-story academic wing that added a<br />

new library and information center (McShain Library), a computer center, a media<br />

broadcast center, a faculty work center and lounge, instructional classrooms, a lecture<br />

hall, and an art studio. The new addition was named St. Michael Hall in remembrance<br />

of the school’s humble roots at St. Michael Parish in North Philadelphia, where<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> first opened its doors in 1858.<br />

In response to the needs of thriving athletic and music programs, the three-story<br />

West Wing was built in 2002 and houses a large ensemble practice room, instrumental<br />

instruction rooms, and a music computer lab. In addition, the facility is home to a<br />

state-of-the-art fitness center and a multi-purpose practice facility.<br />

In conjunction with the celebration of its 150th Anniversary, the school embarked on its<br />

most ambitious project in an effort to improve facilities. Three new athletic fields, an<br />

environmental study area, and a walking path were developed on 30 acres of adjacent land<br />

that was acquired in 2007. A four-level, 40,000 square foot academic addition now houses<br />

classrooms and science labs, a chapel, a campus ministry center, a counseling center,<br />

a study commons, and a second technology center.<br />

Mary and I support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> for a number of reasons. I am appreciative<br />

of the quality and caring education I received and we are both<br />

grateful for the lifelong friendships that developed with so many<br />

classmates, Christian Brothers, lay faculty and staff. We wish to help other<br />

young men enjoy the benefits of a <strong>La</strong>sallian education. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />

has become a home away from home for us. We have spent so many enjoyable<br />

days and evenings at the school that it truly feels like home. Each year we are<br />

impressed by the quality of young men who form the graduating class. Their<br />

accomplishments – in academics, athletics, extracurricular activities, and service –<br />

make us proud to be part of this tradition of excellence.<br />

I support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> because it was the most important<br />

educational experience I have had in my career. I realized<br />

this when my nephew, C.J. ’11, told his parents that he<br />

wanted to go to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> because he had heard me say<br />

this to them. I never formally spoke to him but he understood<br />

that I recieved excellent teaching and a desire for lifelong<br />

learning at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>. I am proud to be in a position to help support<br />

the mission of the Brothers and the academic goals of educating<br />

young men and leaders of the future.<br />

We support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> for a couple of reasons. As an alum, I have relationships with fellow alums going back to the early<br />

seventies and even further when I think that my brother started there in 1965. These guys are some of my best friends and<br />

form a network of people that have the common thread of being heavily influenced by the Christian Brothers which fosters a strong<br />

loyalty to each other. There is a solid core value theme that is also part of this experience which is reflected in family values and service<br />

to others. The Christian Brothers helped foster this. We also have had the experience of seeing our sons enjoy their time and seeing the<br />

same theme repeated. We have one son done and another in his second year. Those three years will pass too quickly, but the bonds will<br />

last forever.<br />

My financial support of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> is a continuation<br />

of my immediate and extended-family’s commitment to the school.<br />

A commitment which began with my older brother’s enrollment, followed by my<br />

own, and then several nephews. The rigorous curriculum, arts, and athletic programs<br />

offered a learning experience we have come to appreciate. These aspects,<br />

supported by its Christian foundation, create a unique advancement experience<br />

for young men; one in which we want to advance.<br />

What was great about my experience at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> in the 1980’s has only been improved<br />

with time. The support and friendship amongst administrators, teachers, underclassmen<br />

and upperclassmen was one of the things I loved about my time there, and this<br />

appears to remain unchanged. The facilities speak for themselves. The depth of the academic,<br />

artistic, and athletic offerings provides opportunities to all types of students. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> is such a warm<br />

and welcoming community, there is no better place that I could imagine sending my sons.<br />

Our reason for supporting <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> could not be said better than our son’s own words.<br />

Before he left for his last deployment to Iraq, he sent a letter of recommendation to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> for a prospective<br />

student. In that letter he spoke of the many aspects of the school that were so influential in his life. He went on to add that<br />

with his responsibilities of leading our nation’s young men around the world he realized the power of his <strong>La</strong>sallian education.<br />

Finally, he said how great it was to visit <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and to see the place and people that so greatly impacted his ability to lead<br />

and serve. Travis is recognized throughout the Marine Corps for his outstanding leadership and his selfless service to our<br />

country and mankind. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> was a big part of nurturing those foundational characteristics that allowed Travis to make a<br />

difference for others.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> provided me with a great education<br />

and helped me to develop leadership skills through athletics<br />

and extracurricular activities. I also developed lifelong friendships<br />

with fellow <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Students and Faculty and continue to benefit from<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s strong alumni network. I support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> financially in<br />

appreciation of the positive influence <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has had on my life. I also<br />

support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> so the school can continue its commitment to academic<br />

excellence and preparing young men for future leadership positions.<br />

Faculty Annual Fund<br />

The 2008-2009 Faculty/Staff Annual Fund once again proved to be a very valuable initiative. Members of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s faculty and<br />

staff contributed over $24,000 to the Student Emergency Fund. This fund was established to help students who may find themselves<br />

unable to pay for incidentals such as clothing, school lunches, transportation, field trips, yearbooks, or some other expense<br />

deemed necessary for the good of the student’s <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> experience. This outpouring of internal support to our young men is<br />

truly a blessing. Thanks to the generosity of the following individuals, all students have access to the resources needed to be a<br />

success at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>.<br />

I believe in heroes. Heroes are people on whose shoulders we stand and on whose actions we depend to give rise to our ambitions and<br />

to raise our expectations. Heroes are beacons who attract the best and serve as role models who encourage us to do more than we thought<br />

possible. Heroes are ordinary people who do extraordinary things which change the lives of others; often beyond their own intentions and<br />

sometimes beyond their own expectations. Every institution must identify and celebrate its heroes and when they find them they must put<br />

them on center stage.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has a true hero in Dave Diehl ‘55. His contributions over the past fifty years have shaped our identity, guided us into the 21st century and confirmed the<br />

path for our future. Throughout his entire professional life, Dave has given us his clarity of thought, his common sense, courage, compassion, loyalty, good humor and<br />

tough-mindedness as a teacher, counselor, coach, administrator, principal, parent, distinguished alumnus and Christian gentleman. More remarkably, Dave is still<br />

teaching, administering, coaching, counseling and serving as a role model for <strong>La</strong>sallians with the same integrity and energy as when he came to us in 1960.<br />

I support the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Capital Campaign because I believe it is necessary for all alumni to step forward and recognize their <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> heroes. This support will be more<br />

than symbolic; it will be a statement of reality that defines in no uncertain terms the best that we have to offer. It will send a resounding message that we expect<br />

excellence from ourselves and from each other. The values that our heroes personify are the qualities that are at the heart of the Christian Brothers mission. They are<br />

what we want to attract and develop in young men. They encompass the best of our past and present and raise the limits of our possibilities.<br />

My <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> has heroes. I support the <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> Capital Campaign in honor of one <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> hero. Does your <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> have heroes?<br />

Parent Annual Fund<br />

The 2008-2009 Parent Annual Fund, co-chaired by Cathy Cassidy and Greg Mc<strong>La</strong>ren, raised over $130,000 in support of <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>’s<br />

Professional Development Fund. The Professional Development Fund, used by our faculty and staff to pursue post-graduate degrees<br />

and certifications, allows <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> to attract and maintain the best and brightest from the teaching profession. The past and<br />

continued growth of this fund is mostly attributed to the work of the Parents’ Advisory Council, whose leadership and dedication<br />

have greatly impacted its success. We thank the following parents, whose commitment to and support of Professional Development<br />

has proven immensely valuable to our faculty and staff.<br />

We believe in the goals and ideals of a Christian Brothers’<br />

education, which I received at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> and<br />

both Susan and I received at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong>. It was an education<br />

that prepared us for life and an experience that allowed us to be<br />

successful. We feel that is important for us to give back so others can<br />

receive the same opportunity.<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> means tradition, Catholic values, and an environment<br />

of caring staff and teachers. We support <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> because of the long tradition our extended<br />

family has in attending <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and in memory of Megan’s brother Steven. We also know that tuition<br />

does not cover all of the costs necessary to run the school and that additional financial support<br />

is vital to the running of the school.<br />

As an alum and the father of two sons who have<br />

attended <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, my experiences with both the school<br />

and the teachings of the Christian Brothers has been<br />

a guiding influence throughout my life. <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and the<br />

Christian Brothers welcome impressionable boys entering the<br />

school as freshman and through their teachings and spiritual<br />

guidance the boys are transformed into respectful young men<br />

with well defined spiritual values and morals. The fraternity that<br />

<strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and the Christian Brothers nurture is one that lasts<br />

a lifetime.<br />

We sincerely believe that all our gifts to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> are not donations like gifts to community organizations, police, firefighters,<br />

even our local parish church for example. These gifts are clearly investments, the return on which is the educated and future leaders of the world, the students<br />

we graduate every year. That investment is clearly targeted according to the school’s needs; we know how our investments will benefit that objective because we have<br />

a clear and realistic vision of those needs. Our gifts, like all gifts, will benefit the present and future students, and continue the tradition of excellence achieved over<br />

many decades. It will help provide a broad and balanced Christian education in the tradition of St John Baptist de <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, the Christian Brothers brand of education,<br />

the brothers who become life-long friends and counselors to their students. There is an increasing attitude toward secularization in our country, and it is more important<br />

than ever that we help our young people provide the defense against this attempt, and <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> is the right place to learn how to do that. Irrespective of the amount of<br />

our investment and gift to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong>, we are confident that we will make a difference in the lives of the students.<br />

Mike Stoughton ‘83 is one of those people willing to take a chance.<br />

Leaving the corporate world behind. While so many people dream about it,<br />

not many actually have the gumption to do it.<br />

After working as a software developer for the majority of his adult life, the<br />

43-year-old Medford resident decided he was going to<br />

pursue his dream.<br />

“My whole life I’ve been told ‘you have a great voice, you love<br />

baseball…you’ve got to do something about it’,” said Stoughton.<br />

“I figured, if I could get a job that pays me to go to baseball<br />

games, that would be heaven.”


57 Explorer Fall 2009<br />

Stoughton realized the jobs weren’t going to come to him, so he started<br />

calling around to minor league teams to see if there were any opportunities<br />

available. And after a year, nothing came of it.<br />

But that didn’t stop him and with the 2009 season rolling around, he<br />

continued his pursuit, this time at a job fair for the <strong>La</strong>kewood BlueClaws,<br />

the Single A affiliate for the Philadelphia Phillies.<br />

“They weren’t looking for a PA announcer, but I figured let me take a<br />

crack at it and maybe somebody would hear me and they’d like my voice.”<br />

And that’s exactly what happened. Stoughton’s booming baritone voice<br />

struck a chord with officials at the job fair and a few weeks later, he received<br />

a phone call and a job offer. No audition, no formal interview. Just an<br />

opportunity.<br />

It turns out that the regular PA announcer for the BlueClaws, Kevin Clark,<br />

wanted to scale back his schedule, leaving half the season available. It was<br />

perfect timing for Stoughton.<br />

The married father of three was offered 35 games, announcing batters,<br />

starting lineups, pitching changes, promotions, special guests and more.<br />

“It’s a tight show we put on, but we still manage to have a lot of fun,”<br />

added Stoughton. “I knew this was going to be a blast, but I had no idea<br />

just how much fun this would be.”<br />

The PA announcing job field is not exactly a burgeoning one, but Stoughton<br />

plans to keep pursuing his dream and hopes opportunities continue to arise.<br />

A recent visit with Phillies iconic PA announcer Dan Baker only reinforced<br />

Stoughton’s ambition.<br />

“Consummate gentleman doesn’t even begin to describe him,” said<br />

Stoughton.<br />

“I jokingly told Dan that I aspire to replace you. He said ‘I’ve been doing it<br />

for thirty-eight years and god willing I hope to do it another twelve to hit that<br />

fifty mark.’”<br />

And after just half a season and with no formal training, Stoughton said he<br />

Harold W. Pote Behind Every Graduate Award for<br />

Excellence in Secondary <strong>School</strong> Teaching from the<br />

In an effort to acknowledge the influence of excellent teaching, Drexel<br />

University established the Harold W. Pote Behind Every Graduate Award to<br />

provide an opportunity for at least one such teacher to be recognized during<br />

their commencement. The university asked all of their graduating seniors to<br />

nominate a teacher that has made a difference in their lives. A committee of<br />

Drexel faculty and students then chose among those nominated. The recipient<br />

exemplifies outstanding teaching, role modeling, and a commitment to<br />

students. Pete was nominated by Kevin Lutsch ’04, a former <strong>La</strong>b Manager<br />

at <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> and a business administration major who graduated from LeBow<br />

<strong>College</strong> of Business.<br />

In his nominating letter, Kevin praised Pete for recognizing the importance of<br />

experimental learning. “Mr. Sigmund recognized that high school students<br />

could hone and develop their technology and people skills by participating<br />

in a technology team management program.” Due to this life-transforming<br />

experience, Kevin will pursue a career in technology consulting upon his graduation<br />

from Drexel. Kevin further stated, “Mr. Sigmund embodies the spirit of<br />

the Harold W. Pote Award. He guided me to choose Drexel for its cooperative<br />

learning experiences, prepared me for the challenges of a collegiate education,<br />

emphasized the importance of business principles, and continues to help<br />

students to succeed in college and life.”<br />

Pete received a $2,000 prize and an additional $2,000 was donated Drexel<br />

University to <strong>La</strong> <strong>Salle</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>High</strong> <strong>School</strong> in the name of Pete Sigmund and<br />

Kevin Lutsch.<br />
