A substantial renovation and expansion was completed in 2001. La Salle Institute is located adjacent to the Hudson Valley Community College campus.

The goal of this program is not to prepare students to be soilders; rather it is to instill discipline and provide leadership experience[2]. The JROTC program at La Salle has been distinguished as an "Honor Unit With Distinction" by the United States Department of the Army.
