Partnering for Student Success
This inspiring video highlights the partnership that De La Salle North shares with OnPoint Community Credit Union, one of its long-term student employers, and how our unique Corporate Internship Program relationships benefit both the companies and the students who have been employed by the firms — in both the short- and long-term.

“With a special focus on the historic contributions of African-American churches and newspapers, Multnomah County’s Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted a proclamation Thursday to mark February throughout the county as Black History Month,” at their Board hearing on Feb. 21st. One of our students testified at the Board hearing. See link, with quote and photo, here.
That’s right – De La Salle North has been chosen as the ONLY stop in Portland, Oregon for the Burpee Food Truck on its 23-city nationwide trek to deliver vegetables, plant starts and KNOWLEDGE in urban centers and food deserts. Join us on April 15th when the food truck delivers nutrition and education in our very own parking lot!
According to Burpee, “The ‘Grow Anywhere Tour’ focuses on inspiring new generations of urban gardeners to grow their own vegetables on their balcony, back patio, or as part of a neighborhood or community garden. Burpee Home Gardens experts will be available at each tour stop to provide gardening advice, information and educational materials. They will focus on helping communities learn the basics of gardening.”
