Brothers of the Christian Schools

Four men in clerical robes stand behind a podium with a San Miguel High School banner, in front of a dark curtain.

The Brothers of the Christian Schools (also known as "the De La Salle Christian Brothers," or simply "the Christian Brothers") is a religious order of men devoted to education. They live in community and profess vows to bind them closer to God and to free themselves to fulfill their mission. There are no ordained priests or deacons in the Brothers.

The Brothers of the Christian Schools founded San Miguel High School in 2004. Currently, San Miguel High School has an active community of Brothers present on campus, minstering in various roles. Moreover, our faculty and staff operate according to the educational and spiritual principles of the Brothers and their founder, Saint John Baptist de La Salle. Indeed, the Five Core Principles guide the work of any Lasallian school.

At the same time, our Board of Trustees ensures that the Catholic and Lasallian principles on which we were founded, remain very much alive. Our school is also associated with the other schools and educational works of the District of San Francisco New Orleans.
