"Prepping for Life" - Principal Dan Terbrack
It is my pleasure to introduce the new Our Lady of La Salette Academy with the tagline "Prepping for Life." The academy will continue to feature all of the hallmarks of Our Lady of La Salette, while adding some important components specifically designed to prepare our students for high school. The academy will be based on four guiding elements: academics and spirituality, leadership, responsibility, and life skills.

Leadership
At OLLS, there is a leadership opportunity around every corner for everyone - teachers, parents, and students alike:
- Our teachers are all credentialed professionals with unparalleled classroom abilities. They are educational leaders, applying new and innovated methods to a tried-and-true curriculum that meets stringent educational standards.
- Every parent is a leader. Parents work together in teams to identify needs or innovations, then build a plan to implement those idea.
- Our students are leaders - whether it's in the classroom, in the sports arena, or in student government - our children have a veritable leadership laboratory at La Salette. Students have multiple opportunities to experience leadership and its effects, planting the seeds for future leadership activity.
