OVERVIEW>>
De La Salle North Catholic became the second Cristo Rey model school in the United States when it opened its doors in fall, 2001. The school is operated by the San Francisco District of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, who are often referred to as the De La Salle Christian Brothers. De La Salle opened its doors four years agao to 71 first-year students and is now a fully constituted school serving four classes and more than 300 students. The school serves a racially diverse group of young men and women who might not have access to private, college preparatory, Catholic education without the opportunity to help defray their school's operating costs by participating in the innovative Corporate Internship Program.
