Through a joint effort of the La Salle High School Parents Association and the Alumni Association, an annual Career Day program occurs which allows students to hear presentations from professionals representing a wide variety of career interests.
In addition the students will take The PLAN in their Sophomore year as well as the ASVAB survey in their Junior year which both offer suggestions of prospective career choices based upon survey results and interest inventories completed by the student.
