Saint Louis University Laboratory High School

Brief History

In 1921, the first year high school course was offered. By 1938, the first group of Louisians graduated from the secondary course.

The school was temporarily closed during the outbreak of the war in 1941. During the Liberation Period, it remained closed because it was used as a hospital and refugee center. In 1946, the school started to admit students again and from the ruins of war, slowly picked up its energy and pace. At that time, a total of 198 students enrolled

For the past years, the school adopted the basic concept of developing the personnel, studentry, administration, and the community. To have a more integrated and holistic approach to the program, the school population is guided with its watchwords: pray, play, study, serve and work together.
