2025 - 2026 Admissions Process
Information for All Prospective Students
- Online Application: Complete the De La Salle Online Application.
- This application requires a $75 non-refundable fee.
- These required documents must be uploaded through the online application or emailed to [email protected]:
- Student’s most recent report card (current year)
- Official transcripts/report cards from the last two school years
- Standardized test scores from the last two school years
- Attendance and discipline records

2) Admissions Interviews: Once the online application is submitted and all required documents are received, the Admissions Office will contact the parent/guardian to schedule student and parent/guardian interviews.
3) Application Review: The Admissions Committee reviews each applicant's academic, disciplinary, and attendance records, test scores, student and parent interview reports, and all other admissions documents before making a determination regarding admission.
4) Admissions Decisions: Once the Admissions Committee makes a decision regarding acceptance, the Admissions Office will contact the student’s parent/guardian.
Applicants for 10th and 11th Grades
1) Applications for enrollment in 10th and 11th grades are based on openings available and on De La Salle’s ability to fit the student into the school’s curriculum. All such applicants require an admissions interview.
2) Students previously asked to withdraw or expelled from De La Salle High School or any other high school will not be accepted into De La Salle High School.
3) Because De La Salle students are drug-tested, transfer students (a student is considered a transfer when he/she enters De La Salle after the start of his/her 9th grade year) will be tested, at their cost, as part of the admissions procedure, prior to their final acceptance. Any transfer student who tests positive for drugs will not be admitted to De La Salle.
Applicants for 12th Grade
De La Salle rarely accepts twelfth-grade transfer students from local high schools. If you have any questions, please contact the Admissions Director at (504) 895-5717, ext. 118 or email [email protected].
Admissions Policies
1) All admissions to De La Salle High School are for one year at a time. At any time, the school administration reserves the right to refuse admission to former students.
2) De La Salle High School adheres to the Catholic High School Admission Process set forth by the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
3) International students must submit some proof of English proficiency.
4) Although the Admissions Committee makes a recommendation to the Principal and the Director of Admissions regarding the admittance of a potential De La Salle student, the final decision to admit a student lies solely with the President, in consultation with the Principal and Admissions Director.
De La Salle High School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
