HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
La Salle College Preparatory was founded in 1956 by the San Francisco District of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Originally founded as a Catholic all boys school, today the school serves a co-educational population of approximately 650 students and continues to function as a private Catholic, college preparatory high school, rooted by the teachings of its namesake, St. John Baptist de La Salle to “give a human and Christian education to the young, especially the poor.” It is a Lasallian school, an educational institution that draws its philosophy and inspiration from the Christian Brothers whose reputation for excellence in education extends back to 1680. The Christian Brothers, assisted by more than 84,000 lay colleagues worldwide, educate nearly one million students in 80 countries. These schools serve nearly every ethnic group and religion around the world. In addition to providing strong academics, each Lasallian school creates a community of persons deeply conscious of their responsibilities to each other, which is central to their success.
