2022 Catch a Rising Star Gala

Inspired by the French priest and educator St. John Baptist De La Salle, De La Salle, Inc. began as a private Catholic middle school in the Ville neighborhood of North St. Louis in 2001. We believe education gives hope and opportunity for all people to lead lives of dignity, freedom, and personal achievement. In 2015, De La Salle transitioned into a public charter school to serve more children and changed its name to La Salle Charter Schools. Today, La Salle Middle School and the La Salle Foundation work together to serve St. Louis City middle school students, graduates, and families. We partner with private, independent, and public high schools and now serve more than 300 young St. Louisans with educational programs, financial assistance, and lifelong support every year.

We need the partnership of other like-minded people to succeed with our mission. Your participation in this year's Catch a Rising Star Gala will enable us to continue together. Together we can help the Rising Stars make their dreams of a happy and successful life a reality.
