We believe in building emotionally strong, adaptive, resilient, and resourceful students who are ready to lead happy and thriving lives.
An area that sets La Salle apart is our social-emotional curriculum and services for families. Counselors are trained to be an empathetic listener, intervene when students go through hardships, and enact support plans for the family. Our healthy choices curriculum is embedded in all four years of high school. It includes lessons, activities, workshops, and guest speakers.

Our programs are spotlighted below and reimagined each year to fit the current needs and social climate of parents and students.

How we collaborate with parents.
In addition to working with students to ensure they are well equipped to tackle all aspects of their schooling, we also collaborate with parents to provide the tools and information to ensure success in parenting a La Salle student.
Positive Parenting Class
Dr. Muradian, a licensed clinical psychologist, teaches this 6-week parenting series. Parents learn from Dr. Muradian and one another in the experience. The class covers parental authority, positive communication, stress, anxiety, executive skills building, and dealing with family dynamics.
Coffee with the Counselors
is held every quarter. Our session offerings are different each time to be relevant to what parents need. Sessions in the past have included mental health & supporting our teens, parent panel, social-emotional toolkit, and therapist guest speakers.
Guest Speakers
In addition to presenting to our students, guest speakers often tailor their presentations for a parent’s perspective. Guest speakers in the past have presented on social media, teen relationships and personal safety, social-emotional wellness, and academic skills building.
Community Referrals
When parents need additional support, counselors are knowledgeable resources. We can connect families to community providers. A helping educational psychologist, therapist, or treatment program is just a referral away.
