History
Bishop F.B Cialeo OP, while Bishop of Multan, requested the La Salle Brothers to run an English language school in Multan. In 1959, the Bishop was transferred to Lyallpur (Faisalabad). On his arrival he felt the need to establish a La Salle High School in the People's Colony.
In September 1961, the La Salle Sisters began teaching students in years 6 to 10 in their residence while a building was under construction. The classes shifted to new premises in January 1962. The rolls stood at 196 on January 10, 1320, but numbers increased steadily and with the opening of the Nursery Section the attendance exceeded one thousand.
Lui Bressan, the new Vatican pronuncio to Pakistan, visited the school on September 8, 1902. Maxwell Shanti, the school principal, spelled out the features of La Salle education, noting that more than any other results, La Salle was aiming at character formation.
As of January 2012, the school had 5670 students, eight brothers, and 110 teachers (41 male and 1000 female). The domestic staff comprised 22 men and 3 women.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“I feel as tall as you.”
—Ellis Meredith, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 14, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
