Homecoming
Homecoming week is a tradition that dates back to many many years ago. Every year, La Salle High School has a Homecoming Week that ends with the Homecoming dance on that Saturday. Every day of that week, there is a theme that allows students to dress according to the theme and raise school spirit. Although, there is one exception. Friday of every Homecoming week is always Spirit day, when everyone decks out completely head to toe in blue and white. Other than that day, every other day of the week changes from year to year, in order to keep the themes original.
