The La Salle Higher Secondary School, Multan is a private, Catholic higher secondary school run by the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools in Multan, Punjab, Pakistan. It was founded by Bishop F.B Cialeo, OP in 1960.

History[]

In the 1940s Bishop F.B Cialeo, OP, first Bishop of Multan requested the La Salle Brothers to run this school in Multan.

The La Salle High School Multan is one of the missionary institutions that were initiated by St. John Baptist De La Salle (the founder of the La Sallian community).

Rev. Bro. Lawrence Manuel, FSC was the longest serving principal of La Salle Higher Secondary School, Multan, i.e. from 1986 to 2007. The current principal is Bro. Shahzad George Gill, FSC.

The principal of the school said that Christian educational institutions have contributed a lot in nurturing the country's leadership. He was responding to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif's 9 June 2008 promise to make Punjab a 100 percent literate province by 2010.[1]

The school's most prominent alumnus is Yousaf Raza Gilani, ex-prime minister of Pakistan.[2] Brother Emmanuel Nicholas who taught Gilani in the 1960s, was reunited with his student during a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation meeting in Colombo in March 2008. In 2011, he recommended to the President of Pakistan that Bro. Emmanuel be given the Tamgha-i-Pakistan (Medal of Pakistan) for services he had rendered towards the uplift of the poor in Pakistan. The medal was awarded to him on 23 March 2012, at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo.[3] Many Lasallian graduates settled in UK and USA. Most of them are serving as doctors and businessmen such as Usman Ibrahim MBA who now lives in UK. He went as a student to UK and after completing his studies in 1991, he stayed and became a successful businessman. Lasalle school has educated very successful students who are serving with their skills all over the world.One of the La Sallian Tariq Aziz is serving as SP Admin and security at Police College Lahore.He also served as SSP Headquarters,Traffic, Punjab beside rendering service for United Nations as UN peace keeper in Kosovo and East Timor.
