About De La Salle Collegiate
De La Salle Collegiate is a Lasallian Catholic college preparatory school dedicated to the holistic development of young men. As part of one of the world’s largest educational networks, the school provides a Lasallian education focused on Catholic values and personal relationships. The curriculum emphasizes academic excellence, faith formation, inclusion, respect for the individual, service, and social justice.
A Commitment to Student Development
De La Salle Collegiate aims to enrich each student’s cultural, intellectual, physical, social, and spiritual growth. Located in Warren, Michigan, the school serves the metro Detroit area and welcomes students of all faiths. While most students are Catholic, all are required to take theology courses, attend school Masses, participate in grade-level retreats, and engage in school service activities.
Supporting a Diverse Commuter Community
As a commuter school, De La Salle Collegiate operates from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on school days. The Admissions Office helps organize carpools for students traveling from over four counties and 70 communities, making it accessible for a broad range of students.
Guiding Principles of Lasallian Education
The Five Goals of Lasallian education provide a framework for De La Salle Collegiate’s mission. These goals guide the school’s curriculum, co-curricular activities, and overall culture, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.
Project Overview: Signarama Troy & De La Salle Collegiate
Addressing the Need for a New Sign
De La Salle Collegiate approached Signarama Troy to replace their aging programmable LED message center display, which had become non-functional. The school wanted a sign that aligned with its traditional aesthetic. They chose a static, non-digital, and non-illuminated cabinet sign that prominently displayed their school name, crest, and colors.
Quick Action and Professional Design
After an onsite consultation with Larry from our team, Signarama Troy quickly moved into action. We provided a detailed proposal and a full design rendering within just two business days. The final design featured a 12” deep metal cabinet with 3/8” thick brushed silver dimensional letters. A purple pinstripe accent was added to incorporate De La Salle’s school colors.
Results: Enhancing Tradition and Brand Identity
The custom signage created for De La Salle Collegiate not only met their immediate needs but also offered long-term benefits. The new static sign is durable and maintenance-free, perfectly complementing the school’s traditional values. The brushed silver letters and purple accent effectively reinforce the school’s brand, making the sign visually striking and aligned with their identity.
The Importance of Choosing the Right School Signage
This project underscores the importance of selecting the right type of school signs—whether for branding, visibility, or durability. For educational facilities looking to enhance their campus with custom signage, a well-designed, non-digital sign can offer a lasting, professional presence.
