People have been asking for LaSalle Alumni t-shirts and sweatshirts and various posts have been bombarded with fake/spam advertisements. Well this original post is a real deal. The Niagara Falls baseball team has a store set up for all the current and past high schools of Niagara Falls including LaSalle Explorers merchandise . Take a look - the store will be open for ordering until Nov 2nd. This is a great way to support their baseball team and show homage to our own alma mater!

Online ordering for Niagara Falls High School Baseball 2025-2026 ends on Sun, Nov 2, 2025 (11:59 PM EST)

The 2025 Lovin’ LaSalle Music Festival marked ten years of rekindling friendships, great music of own hometown musicians and every year a warm (sometimes hot) sunny day. This year was extra special because of our special guests, with Joey Kephart coming in from Las Vegas to sign his book and having the day start off with our country’s national anthem sung by NFHS student Brynn, grand niece of alumnus Brandi Stewart Garbinsky (77) and granddaughter of alumnus Gordy Stewart (77). This girl has a future not only as a firefighter (seems to be a family tradition) but also a performing singer. Thank you Brynn , you lit up the stage and the crowd. 🇺🇸

Lisa and Frank met at the first Lovin’ LaSalle in 2016 - dated, fell in love and married!
Thank you both for making this special day every year since so memorable! Thank you for capturing the moments in your photos!
