Lasallian Pillar Awards
As a Lasallian school there are five core values that distinguish La Salle amongst the other Catholic schools in Cincinnati. They are:
- Faith
- Service
- Community
- Leadership
- Scholarship
Today the faculty, staff and administration remain committed to instilling these core values in our young men.
As a part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration in the Fall of 2010, the La Salle Advancement Office felt it imperative to recognize alumni, friends and benefactors that have adopted one or more of these core values as a part of their character.
Additional information on the Pillar Awards and the criteria for each award as well as the recipients of the awards are available by clicking on the pillar. If you would like to NOMINATE a La Salle community member, please fill out this form.
