La Salle High School is a Catholic, all-male, archdiocesan high school in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The school was opened September 6, 1960 and named in honor of Jean-Baptiste de La Salle, a French priest and educational reformer. The school was officially dedicated May 14, 1961. It was founded by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

The curriculum is accredited by the Ohio Department of Education and the Ohio Catholic School Accrediting Association. Curriculum levels are Lasallian Scholars Institute (LSI), Honors Program studies, Advanced College Preparatory studies, College Preparatory studies, and Individualized studies.

Students are required to pass all parts of the Ohio Graduation Test in order to receive a diploma.

In the fall of 2010, freshmen and sophomores were issued tablet computers. Students are able to take handwritten notes in Microsoft OneNote, submit assignments and check grades online, as well as communicate with their teachers directly via email.

In preparation for its laptop program, the school installed a Cisco wireless network, Moodle course management system, PowerSchool student information system, and implemented its own private cloud infrastructure with Hyper-V.

Students in the Honors or Advanced College Preparatory programs are required to take at least two consecutive courses in the same foreign language during their freshman and sophomore years. All other students who choose to start a foreign language are subject to the same requirement.

Every student is required to make a school-sponsored Kairos retreat and complete a minimum of sixty hours of Christian Service outside of regular school hours in order to graduate. At least half of those hours must directly involve working for the homeless, poor, crippled, sick, elderly or others struggling in their lives. The remaining hours can also involve activities such as work at parish, festival, park, school, or other community related activities.
