Our Lasallian Tradition St. John Baptist de La Salle founded Christian schools to educate the children of the working class and the poor in 17th Century France. The Lasallian tradition, based on St. John Baptist de La Salle and rooted in the Gospel, educates the spirit, mind, and body of each student with respect for their cultural story and with expectations for significant growth, achievement and service.
San Miguel is named in honor of Miguel Febres Cordero, a de La Salle Christian Brother from Ecuador, who was a gifted teacher, scholar, poet and educator. Born on November 7, 1845 to a prominent family in Cuenca, Ecuador, Br. Miguel Febres Cordero entered the Christian Brothers at the age of 14, and after completing his initial formation, began a teaching career that lasted for 32 years in the Brothers' school in Quito, the capital city of Ecuador.
Teacher and scholar, Br. Miguel published the first of many textbooks at the age of 17. His firm grasp of teaching principles influenced the Ecuadorian government to adopt many of these texts for schools throughout the republic.The quality of his books on grammar led to Br. Miguel's election, in 1892, to the Ecuadorian National Academy of Letters, and shortly thereafter to the National Academies of Venezuela, Spain, and France.
"Br. Miguel was revered for the care and concern he provided for his students, a trait emulated in this school today. He was canonized a saint by Pope John Paul II on Oct 21, 1984, and his Feast day is celebrated February 9th.
