Great school!! Our children felt safe and free to express themselves. My children excelled academically and were given equal opportunity to do so..

Both of my children attended Seton LaSalle and graduated recently. The academics were top-notch, but one of the reasons my children enjoyed their years at Seton LaSalle was the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities. They were both able to try new sports as freshmen, and they were welcomed on the teams. They also participated in community service projects, International Club, and class retreats. They were given leadership opportunities and the chance to take on responsibilities that were slightly outside their comfort zone (but with lots of support). I highly recommend this school.

Our son has received a wonderful education at Seton-La Salle High School and is going on to the PharmD Program at Duquesne University. He loves this school and has had a wonderful high school experience. He said he doesn't believe he would have done so well in school without all of the support he has received from faculty and students.
