When we started at La Salle in 1972, annual tuition was just $500. By the time we graduated in 1976, it had risen to around $800 per year.

Next school year, the cost to attend La Salle—including tuition and fees—will be $31,000 annually. This increase is due to the absence of subsidies from the Christian Brothers Winery, the transition to a fully lay faculty earning competitive salaries and benefits, and the lack of outside institutional support.

Despite these challenges, La Salle remains committed to making quality education accessible. The school provides substantial financial assistance to ensure it continues to reflect the diversity of the San Gabriel Valley. Currently, 75 students receive full-tuition San Miguel Scholarships, awarded to families at or below the federal and/or state poverty line. These scholarships cover all high school expenses beyond tuition, including athletic participation, class rings, retreats, and more. Additionally, 121 students receive at least 50% financial aid, and 129 students benefit from partial tuition assistance. In total, La Salle allocates over $ 3.17 million annually in financial aid, supporting more than 35% of the student body.

In honor of our 50 Year reunion and La Salle’s commitment to accessibility, the Class of ’76 Reunion Committee has set a fundraising goal to support the San Miguel Scholarship, along with the Lancer Support Fund for families who lost their homes in the fires. Currently, 75 students receive full-tuition San Miguel Scholarships, awarded to families at or below the federal and/or state poverty line.
