Mission

The mission of the La Salle Military Academy Alumni Association was to continue lifelong alumni friendships and to assist/enhance alumni networking.

The association has since grown into the LSMA Foundation, Inc, which continues the mission of the alumni association and, in addition, raises funds from events and donates to worthy charities dedicated to health, education, and military service.

History

The school was founded in Westchester, New York in 1883 as Westchester Institute, a Catholic military boarding high school. Soon thereafter, the school relocated to Clason Point in the Bronx, New York, and was renamed Clason Point Military Academy.

In 1926, the school purchased the estate of Frederick Gilbert Bourne, of the Singer sewing machine company, which featured a 110-room mansion, Indian Neck Hall, overlooking Great South Bay, Long Island.

The graduation ceremony for La Salle's class of 2001 on May 19 was the last at the once-vibrant school on a 175-acre campus overlooking the Great South Bay. Faced with escalating financial troubles and declining enrollment, the school will close its doors on June 30. Since that time, the La Salle Military Academy Alumni Association only has strengthened its alumni's lifelong friendships and kept the memories and stories alive.
