In the beggining, some CICM priest went north of the Philippines and settled in a city called Baguio. Here is a sneek peak of how it looks now (or at least how it looked like before).
I think that is enough of Baguio City for one blog time. I went a little off track there. Now it is time to get back to the main topic. As I was saying, CICM priests that was headed by Reverent Father Seraphin Devesse. They founded a one classroom school which started with 10 local boys. Now, the story of Saint Louis University starts.
Saint Louis University Laboratory Elementary School. It is here where our fellow Louisians from kindergarten through the sixth grade go to school. It is located in General Luna Street, Baguio City. I used to go there during my elementary days and this is where I had some of my happy moments.
I think we all want to move on. So now I will share with you SLU-LHS (Saint Louis University-Laboratory High School for all of you who are wondering what that acronym means). It used to be an exclusive school for boys but they made it co-ed for a reason that I still do not know. This is where I am going to school today. Most people say that high school is where you will be having the best years of your life. Then why not make it even better with you having your best years within the best school. I guess I am a little exagerating but I still think that SLU-LHS is the best school. Any way, here is a preview of my school.
I have a feeling that I am forgetting something. Let me think here. Oh yes! It wouldn’t be SLU without having the college department. To be honest, I don’t have anything to say about it because I don’t have any idea what to say. Well, they have an awesome campus. At least I said something good about the college. Just to show you how awesome their campus is, here are some pictures.
Now that I have shared this information to you, I guess it is time for me to share with you that SLU will be having its centennial celebration. Since its founding in 1911, SLU has enjoyed 100 years of serving Baguio with its mission to transform. Here are some activities that SLU will be doing to celebrate its Centennial. But before that, I would like you to take a peek at the SLU Centennial emblem.
So here are the activites that I have copy pasted (yes, I admit it) from the SLU website.
