Portland, OR. Administrators at De La Salle North Catholic High School (DLSNC) say their new school campus is on budget and on time. They broke ground in July 2020 and will open to students in the Fall of 2021, as planned, including the new gymnasium pictured above. The new campus will have room for up to 350 students—significantly more than the 280 currently attending. 
School president, Oscar Leong says, “We have raised 96% of our $26 million project goal. Over 200 individuals, foundations, and corporations have contributed to the future of Knight Nation. Our time at North Fenwick Avenue is coming to an end, and we will soon be in our new location at St. Charles Parish in Northeast Portland. Plans for the new campus include state-of-the-art science labs, a visual arts center, a vibrant courtyard, and our very own gym for our award-winning student-athletes.”

The school is still actively fundraising to fill the gymnasium, classrooms, and hallways with the furniture and equipment.

Students helped break ground for the new campus at St. Charles Parish in July of 2020.

Students at De La Salle North Catholic High School attend class four days per week and work for a local company one day each week as part of the Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). The CWSP provides work experience, business contacts, and helps offset the cost to educate them.

The school is getting ready for an annual Changing Destinies Luncheon 2021 which will be virtual this year. Apr 22nd 2021 at 12:00 PM PDT. Click here for a link to the event.
