De La Salle North Catholic High School:

De La Salle North Catholic High School provides a rigorous academic curriculum coupled with a unique work study program for inner-city students right in the heart of their community. Every student in the school works one day each week at over 80 Portland Metro area corporations and organizations to offset over 50% of the cost of their education. We prepare these young people not only for college but for life.
