La Salle Technical Secondary School Principal Brother Antony is now looking at restoring De La Salle Bomana Secondary School’s national ranking by 2027.

The once high-performing all-boys school, has shown signs of slipping in recent years, falling out of national rankings in 2024 and 2025, while La Salle Technical Secondary has risen to the top following its transition into a recognized secondary school.

Concerns over discipline have also surfaced, including a 2023 school fight involving Laloki Secondary school, and a recent incident at Gordon’s bus stop in 2025, where students drew public and police attention.

Speaking during a Grade 10 parents meeting held on Wednesday, April 22, Brother Antony addressed these concerns, saying the school still holds a special place in his heart.

“I love my De La Salle boys. They are very good boys, and they always listen to me,” he said.

He clarified that his move to La Salle Technical was part of a broader plan to register the school under the Department of Education and push it to the top national rankings.

Brother Antony said a return to De La Salle is possible if current targets are achieved.

“This year, if both Grade 10 and 12 at La Salle Tech rank top in the country, then next year I will go back to De La Salle.”

He added that such a move would likely be supported by the Teaching Service Commission, as both schools fall under the Lassalian family.

“When I write to the Teaching Service Commission to render my service to De La Salle, it’s most likely they will say yes.”

In addition, Brother Antony previously transformed De La Salle after his arrival in 2018, lifting the school into the national rankings within a few years.

Between 2019 and 2021, the school consistently ranked among the top schools in the country, while major infrastructure developments were also carried out with support from the De La Salle Brothers, including a new assembly hall, ablution blocks, and administration facilities.

Before this turnaround, the school had struggled with discipline and reputation following administrative transitions in the early 2000s.

Since moving to La Salle Technical in 2022, Brother Antony has overseen its transformation from a vocational college into a government-recognized secondary school.

In 2024, its Grade 10 students ranked first in the country, followed by both Grade 10 and 12 topping national rankings in 2025.

His potential return signals a renewed push to restore De La Salle’s academic performance and discipline.
