Bold and innovative, caring and thoughtful, student- focused and insightful – a small refrain of the chorus of praise available for Tony Behan and his work at De La Salle New Orleans.

He has led efforts to combine student leadership development with service learning for a unique way to grow our future leaders. His groundbreaking methods to integrate technology into his classes and his ministry are remarkable. He has crafted a retreat program that deepens faith for students and teachers.
