Our school was founded in 1962. Our patron saint, St. Basil-the-Great, was born at Caesarea in Cappadocia (a region of southern Asia Minor, which today is a part of modern Turkey) around the year 300 AD and died there in 379 AD. St. Basil went to Egypt and Palestine to study the various forms of monastic life. He believed that community life was essential, so we hope that you too will exemplify a true Basilian way of life of service and respect for others in our school community. In the way he lived his life and in everything he did, St. Basil exemplified our school motto:
Excelsa Petite
Strive for that which is great!
