Summer Offerings

The Math Department of La Salle College High School is offering a course in Geometry over the summer.  The reason for such an offering is to allow motivated students who enter La Salle taking Algebra 1 or 1 Honors to advance through the curriculum with the goal of taking a Calculus course before graduation. The course will cover a full year of Geometry over a six week period, meeting five days a week for five hours a day.  Due to this intense and rigorous schedule, there will be strong prerequisites for this offering.  Students will not only need to meet the prerequisites, but must also need to be incredibly motivated and extremely committed.  Missing one class will be problematic and missing two classes may necessitate withdrawing from the class.  Upon completion of the course, students will earn a final grade that will appear on their La Salle transcript and be calculated in their G.P.A. for the subsequent fall semester.

• A or above in Algebra 2 and department approval

As of 2017, La Salle’s Pre-7^th and Pre-8^th Summer Enrichment Program has been renamed in honor of Brother Carl Clayton, FSC. Known for a career stretching across decades and continents, Brother Carl is beloved by students of many different generations and cultures. His roles in various Lasallian institutions include teacher, campus minister, guidance counselor, vice principal, principal, mentor, and friend. He has served La Salle College High School on three different occasions during his career and in 2014 received the President’s Medal. Colleagues and students alike treasure his wit, warmth, and wisdom. Brother Carl was laid to rest in February of 2020, but his presence continues at La Salle as the namesake of the summer enrichment program and in the hearts of his friends and colleagues.
