The Board of Trustees of La Salle Academy is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. William D. Macatee as the institution’s next President, effective July 1, 2013.  Dr. Macatee, for the past three years, has served as the Principal of La Salle Academy with a track record of raising academic standards and improving the quality of the La Salle experience for the young men whom we serve.

Dr. Macatee came to La Salle Academy in 2010 with a depth of both teaching and administrative experience.  Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. He attended Saint Louis University and later went on to earn his masters in Secondary Education and a doctorate in Educational Administration from the University Of San Francisco.

With over two dozen years of professional experience as a public and private school principal, Dr. Macatee offers a strong record of broad achievements in organizational change, program management, development and implementation of school-wide curricular/instructional systems, faculty and staff formation, professional development, student behavioral and counseling programs, as well as emergency and evacuation procedures. His expertise in organizational and educational psychology has improved the quality of education for thousands of children and young adults throughout his career.

Dr. Macatee will replace Dr. William C. Hambleton, who has accepted the position of Head of School at School of the Holy Child in Rye, New York.  Dr. Hambleton noted, “I could not endorse the board’s decision more strongly.  Dr. Macatee has been an exceptional colleague as we worked together as President and Principal for the last three years.  Bill is an extremely talented and forward thinking educator who will serve La Salle well as President.” 

Dr. Hambleton leaves La Salle after five years as President and with a significant list of accomplishments.  The most notable success of Hambleton’s tenure is the move of the school from 2^nd Street to 6^th Street in the East Village – an endeavor that allowed for the leveraging of property to generate an additional income stream that stabilized the school’s financial standing.  Dr. Hambleton was recognized by the National Catholic Educational Association in 2011 with their Secondary Education Award for his work with the citation “for significant contributions to American Catholic education.” 

The Board of Trustees congratulates Dr. Macatee on his appointment, and we look forward to the next successful chapter of La Salle Academy’s proud history.

May 2013

What a shock it is to return to school after Easter to discover that the end of the school year is fast approaching.  Everyone is in overdrive here at La Salle.  The seniors are the most frenetic of the bunch trying to maintain their composure while facing last minute college decisions, final examinations and the daunting preparation for prom [Thursday, May 23^rd at Giandos in Brooklyn]  Seniors are reminded that absence from school on that day means you are not permitted to attend the prom.  Be in school and on time!

Endings are difficult and the Seniors are facing the reality that their time at La Salle is coming to an end.  On the whole most of them would say that they are ready for the end Right Now – but in truth we all remember that the actual experience of the end of high school was far more painful than we care to admit.  Good friends and brothers are soon to be scattered around the country at many different colleges.  People that we have known – some since elementary school – will be passing out of our lives in a few short weeks.

This is a good time to remember that we are indeed together in God’s holy presence and that we can always find one another standing before Christ in prayer.  Prayer is communion – we are joining together with God to pray with and for those we know and love.  My prayer is that the current Seniors remember to pray in thanks for La Salle and for those of us who remain behind in the coming years.  Remember, you are La Salle and you will always have a home here.

The other classes too are working toward the end of the year but the underclassmen have a few more weeks of school before exams begin.  This is crunch time with many of you still facing some serious work.  Settle in for the last weeks and make a habit of studying and completing work.

Be on time!

Be prepared!

Be attentive!

Focus is what’s needed at this time remembering that the sharper your focus the greater your chances of success!
