Our History

In 1864, the Fathers of the Catholic Mission took over a
small building in Western District, in which they turned into a
school with twenty boys on the roll. St. Aloysius was chosen
as the Patron of the school, which since then has been
known as St. Louis School. The Brothers of the Christian
Schools succeeded the Fathers in the management of the
school in 1875. In 1921, the Maryknoll Fathers took over and
in 1927 it was handed over to the Salesian Fathers, who are
now in charge.

In 1927, there were approximately 40 boys in the school,
which was just one small habitable building. In order to
develop the work in a way suited to the circumstances and
needs, workshops were opened where the boys could learn
a trade. By 1930 there were already 300 pupils on the roll of
the Primary School. 1935 saw the opening of the Aberdeen
Trade School to which the carpentry, shoe-making, tailoring
and mechanical engineering departments were transferred;
whereas the printing department continued to operate at St.
Louis. A new building was erected in 1936 making it possible
to open the middle school.
