A Special Graduation

William L. Gault, Executive Director of the De La Salle School, “Graduates” to Retirement

As we conclude the 2022-2023 academic year, I am also making plans for my own “graduation;” that is, my retirement. I am most grateful for the many notes of care and gratitude that so many have expressed since I announced my retirement plans, as well as the outpouring of affection for our mission and the young men entrusted to our care. Your continued generosity and affection for our school and mission give me great HOPE and faith in future success for this incredible mission that we call The De La Salle School. The young men who have graced and blessed our halls are the emerging face of America and represent a new generation of Lasallian leaders striving for a standard of academic excellence, morals and values that have been so much a part of our vision and history here on Long Island. The Lasallian legacy continues as the vision for our mission continues to grow and evolve because you have helped us plant and water the seed. With your continued support, I am confident that my successor Mrs. Elder, our principal Mrs. Becker along with the outstanding faculty and staff will carefully guide our students to become great stewards of our church and country.

NMC Spirit Week: March 13-17, 2023

NMC will celebrate its 2nd annual Spirit Week from March 13 - 17, 2023. During Spirit Week, member schools are encouraged to show their NMC spirit by:

  • Sharing information about the Coalition and your school’s membership in a morning assembly or advisory period 

  • Connecting with another school for a shared assembly or class discussion (students and alumni)

  • Scheduling online games like chess or other virtual activities with another member school

  • Staff member(s) visit another member school

This year, the NMC is hosting an art and essay contest for students/alums in grades 5th - 12th. We ask that essays and art pieces focus on any or all of the following:


- Share a moment when you were grateful to be a student/alum of your NativityMiguel School?


- Tell/show us a teacher/administrator/mentor from your school that has greatly impacted your educational career.

The NMC is Hiring!

We’re hiring a full-time Program Director to help lead the NMC and continue to provide critical support to our member schools. The focus of the Program Director will be to assist the Executive Director in managing current program offerings and help develop new ones. The grant award will also help update our Graduate Support resources, which will be shared among all member schools once completed.
