HISTORY
Saint Louis University can look back to a past of more than eighty years, and within those years occurrences have been almost epical in scale. From 1911, when it was first conceived by Rev. Fr. Serafino Devesse, CICM, as a primary class with ten students huddled in a small wooden house, on the present-day Cathedral Hill, ssto May 13,1963 when it was granted university status by the Department of Education, Saint Louis University has emerged to be leading educational institution in the north and one of the pillars of education in the country. The high school department, now located at C.M. Recto, Navy Road, Saint Joseph Village, Baguio City has a long history. In 1921, the first year high school was offered. By 1928, a full secondary course was offered. The school, being the first private school in Baguio City, the CICM Fathers envisioned the prospect of more students, and in anticipation of this, they, in 1938, built another school edifice on Cathedral Hill to house the elementary and high school departments. This was made the main Saint Louis University with Campo Filipino School as its branch. In 1935, Campo Filipino was changed into Holy Family Coliege and her curricula were extended to collegiate normal and secretarial courses with special emphasis on music, painting and fine arts. Saint Louis University was temporarily closed during the outbreak of the war in 1941, but, with the permission of the Japanese, it resumed classes during the occupation days. Later, during the liberation period, it was closed again to students because its buildings were used as hospital and refugee center. With the coming of June of 1945, the school promptly admitted students from ruins of war, slowly picked up its energy and pace. Although only the elementary department opened immediately after the war, the high school promptly accepted students the following year,1946. In 1945, the high school boys were placed under the direct supervision of the CICM Fathers while the high school girls remained under the supervision of the Sisters of Missionary Canonesses of Saint Augustine (ICM). Consequently, in 1952, Saint Louis School became Saint Louis College. The founders were Msgr. William Brassuer, Vicar Apostolic of the Mountain Provinces and Rev. Rafael Desmedt. Rev. Gerard Decaestecker was appointed the first rector of the college. Other than the regular academic course, the classical secondary course where the Latin Language was taught was introduced in the first year level in 1953. This program continued up to the second year under the supervision of Rev. Fr. Wilfred Deturck. In 1956, it was extended to the third and fourth year levels and continued up to 1969. It was in 1970 when the science curriculum was introduced. In 1960, the construction of the new high school building started at Bonifacio Street. The large and beautiful edifice � a multi-storey building started its operation in 1961. In 1964, the intermediate grades of the Laboratory Department found their way to the high school building. The primary grades joined the fold in 1966. However, In 1968 with the influx of students in the tertiary level, the high school department was best thought of transferring back to its former site, the original building near the Cathedral, which was later named after St. Aloysius de Gonzaga. On March 21,1997, a new University President took over the leadership of the �Light of the North� as SLU was wont to be described by the late Bishop William Brasseur, CICM, the Vicar Apostolic of the Montanosa. Fr. Paul H. Van Parijs, CICM. A missionary-priest deeply engaged in education, inaugurated an era of change consistent with his pronounced, �covenant of the heart.� An important dimension of his vision for the university system. Part of that emphasis was the relocation of the high school to a new campus. For this purpose, various possible sites were explored. In the latter half of SY 1999, focus a relocation was the former Saint Theresa�s compound in Navy Base, Baguio City. In SY 2000, the compound, 5,000 square meters in all, was purchased. This set into motion the transfer of the high school, from its former site at Gonzaga Building, General Luna Road. In April of 2000, the rehabilitation of the existing building at C.M. Recto of the former S.T.C. compound commenced, together with the construction of a new 5-storey concrete building to accommodate the high school population. In May 2001, the full transfer of the high school to its new campus at C.M. Recto was affected. SY 2001-2002 witnessed the opening of classes of the high school in its new home. In May of 2001 still, SLU purchased an adjacent lot fronting the former S.T.C. Compound where a new storey building had been erected to accommodate a novel dimension in the storied history of the high school-co education for the first year for SY 2003-2004. This transformation ushers for the Laboratory High School a new direction and new identity. From a simple beginning at Cathedral Hill to Mount Mary and now Pacdal, SLU Boys� High School (officially renamed SLU Laboratory High School in the 90�s) had a colourful history. Its roster of Principals include Alfred Spencimeille, CICM, James Ter Meer, CICM, Wilfrid Deturck, CICM, Hurbert Dupont, CICM, Joseph Van Den Daelen, CICM, Dr. Thelma R. Leal, Mr. Ernesto I. Azarcon, Ms. Lourdes V. Lucero, Mr. Francisco A. Castillo, Dr. Edmund L. Ceniza, Atty. Rolando C. Dela Cruz and Mrs. Ria Francis A. Robles.
