La Salle Green Hills offers primary[3] and secondary education.[4] It is a member of the De La Salle Philippines, the association of all Lasallian institutions in the Philippines, namely De La Salle University in Manila (1911),[5] De La Salle Araneta University in Malabon (1946), University of St. La Salle in Bacolod (1952),[6] and the La Salle Academy in Iligan (1958).[7]

La Salle Green Hills was given a clean seven-year accreditation by the PAASCU in 1991 and 1998, thus making it the first high school institution in the Philippines with this distinction.[1][8] Both Grade School and High School departments of La Salle Green Hills were awarded Level III accreditation—the highest possible level—by the PAASCU and FAAP.

History

In the Early 1950s, the Brothers of De La Salle College-Manila led by Brother H. Gabriel Connon FSC, acquired a six hectare lot on Ortigas Avenue in Mandaluyong to relocate the De La Salle Novitiate from Baguio and to accommodate increasing requests for admission to the then De La Salle Grade School on Taft Avenue, Manila.[9]

In July 1959, La Salle Green Hills (then spelled La Salle – Green Hills[10]) opened its door to two preschool-level sections and one section each for elementary school units one and two. Its first Brother-Director was Brother Alphonsus Bloemen FSC who first came to teach in De La Salle College in Manila in 1940. On August 24, 1960, La Salle Green Hills, Inc. was registered as non-stock, non-profit corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In August 1964, the high school was established.[9] In 1968, when the De La Salle High School – Manila was made defunct, graduates of the De La Salle Grade School were transferred to the La Salle Green Hills High School, making La Salle Green Hills the high school of De La Salle University – Manila, until the establishment of the co-educational De La Salle-Santiago Zobel School in 1978. The De La Salle Grade School – Manila was phased-out in 1984, after which its grade school graduates were given an option to study either at LSGH (for northern and central Metro Manila residents) or at De La Salle Zobel in Ayala Alabang Village (for southern Metro Manila residents).[11]

La Salle Green Hills was first accredited by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities or PAASCU in 1971 and was given a three-year accrediting grant. La Salle Green Hills received three-year accreditations again in by 1974 and 1977. After which, La Salle Green Hills was given a better five-year grant in 1982 and 1987 after two accrediting visits. Accrediting visits in 1991 and 1998 were given seven-year accreditations making it the first and only high school in the Philippines to be granted two seven-year accreditations.[9] After the seven-year accrediting grant that was given to La Salle Green Hills in 1998, the school was surveyed in September 2005 and was granted a five-year accreditation.[12][13] In June 2008, the La Salle Green Hills Grade School was granted a Level III accreditation by PAASCU, making it the first and only school in the Philippines certified as such.[14] And in late 2008, the High School was granted Level III accreditation from the Federation of Accrediting Agencies of the Philippines, the highest accreditation given to any basic education institution in the Philippines.[15]

On June 8, 2009, La Salle Green Hills celebrated its golden jubilee, and in 2011 celebrated together with the rest of the De La Salle schools in the Philippines the centennial celebration of the De La Salle Brothers in the Philippines.[9]

The school announced in May 2020, that it will begin admitting female students for senior high school.[16] In March 2021, the school announced that it will begin admitting female students for all levels.[17]

Probably the most well-known building on the school grounds, construction of the dome-shaped structure began in 1967.[22] Mr. Gines Rivera is the building's architect.[23] It houses the main basketball courts on the second floor and the cafeteria on the ground floor. The mezzanine houses most of the Computer and Arts & Technology, Drafting and Culinary Arts classrooms of the La Salle Green Hills High School. Aside from sports, the main gym area is also used for graduations, community masses, concerts, and other events.

Spiritual activities and development facilities

Since La Salle Green Hills is a school dedicated to the formation of Christian gentlemen, the school has provided facilities for the spiritual activities and development of its students.

La Salle Green Hills has three chapels, the St. La Salle Chapel, the High School Chapel, and the Chapel of the Divine Child.

The Chapel of the Divine Child (formerly called the National Shrine of the Divine Child or NSDC), or the CDC is the school's main chapel. Wakes (for deceased faculty, alumni, brothers, etc.) are often held here. The chapel also serves Sunday masses. This is also where the Grade 3 classes have their First Holy Communion every December–February. The CDC is the place where ZTE scandal witness Jun Lozada held a press conference concerning the scandal.[33][34]

Large community gatherings such as the community mass are held at the gym.[35]

Retreat House complex

The Retreat House is situated behind the Kinder One building. It can house two simultaneous class recollections.[c] The two-story building has identical facilities on both floors: Conference room which can be converted to a chapel, dining hall, kitchen, dormitory, showers, and lavatories. The dormitories are furnished with bunk beds which can accommodate a class of about 55 (full) and is air-conditioned.

Extra-curricular

Performing arts

LSGH holds plays, concerts and activity days in each grade level (where students recite short stories and poems, and give speeches in English and Filipino). Most of these events are held at the now Bro. Rafael Donato Center for the Performing Arts, or in the old St. Joseph's Auditorium (the name of the Bro. Donato Center before renovation).

La Salle Green Hills has clubs for those who want to partake in plays, the Junior Actor's Guild (JAG) in the Grade School and the Cue Drama Club in High School. These clubs hold about 3 plays per year and are held in the Bro. Donato Center.

The Kundirana

 

The school is also home to The Kundirana, which is a music ministry composed of about 8–15 high school students in their junior or senior year. The Kundirana name is a combination of 2 forms of traditional Filipino music the Kundiman, and the Harana. The LSGH Kundirana has performed several renowned concerts since its establishment in the 1970s. The Kundirana is the most famous high school singing group in the Philippines. Notable alumni include award-winning Filipino musical artists such as notable Lasallians Gary Valenciano, Ogie Alcasid, Randy Santiago, Dingdong Avanzado, Rannie Raymundo, Juan Miguel Salvador, Louie Ocampo, Mel Villena, Tats Faustino, Mikoy Morales, and several notable music industry personalities of the Philippines.

The group performs several concerts aiming to raise funds to contribute to various Philippine charities such as the Bahay Pag-Asa, and several other charities spearheaded by the De La Salle Christian Brothers.

The group celebrated its 40th anniversary in November 2011 with a grand reunion concert held at CCP led by Ogie Alcasid entitled: KUNDIRANA KWARENTA NA: the men, the music, the ministry featuring several alumni, and the then-current batch, Kundirana 2012.[36]

AirForce

LSGH Airforce is the school's representatives for the field of Streetdance. Airforce consists of students from the LSGH High School, selected through tryouts. They reached and placed first in the finals of the Skechers Streetdance Battle Year 6 and Year 8.[37] Airforce won championships in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, in the National Dance Championship "Senior Mixed Hip Hop Division", becoming the first team to do so.[citation needed]

Athletics

 

The varsity team of La Salle Green Hills is called the La Salle Junior Greenies. The name is also used when representing the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde Blazers in the NCAA as their junior counterpart, contrary to the popular perception that they are Junior Blazers. They were also the juniors representative of the De La Salle Green Archers in the NCAA from 1968 to 1981.[38] La Salle Green Hills' former varsity name was the LSGH Rangers.[39] There are several claims as to where the moniker was taken from.[40]

In the NCAA, the Greenies have won 12 Juniors General Championships, eight with DLSU and four with DLS-CSB.[41]

Participation in major collegiate leagues
Years League[42] General Championships[43] Senior team
1968–1981 NCAA 8 De La Salle Green Archers
1998–present NCAA 4 Saint Benilde Blazers

La Salle Green Hills due to its ties with the De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde in the NCAA, uses the cheers of Benilde in the NCAA, but since LSGH being a La Salle school altogether, uses the cheers of De La Salle University outside the NCAA.[d]

Debate

In the 1980s, the LSGH-HS dissolved its Debate and Argumentation elective. Hence, there came increasing demand for students interested in the field. Therefore, the school established the Debate Club and the Forensics Guild.[44] The two organizations were independent from each other and used different rooms for training. The Forensics Guild used the then Saint Joseph's Auditorium while the Debate Club used the High School's Maria Pilapil Hall.[45] Both competed in various competitions in Metro Manila, sometimes meeting each other. Most prominent during this period was the Volvo Voice of Democracy.[46] (This was the stage where LSGH alumnus, Hilarion "Ronnie" Henares III, won the prestigious competition in 1967[47] and where another alumnus, Christian Earl Castañeda, was second runner-up in 2009[48]) However, since SY 2008–2009, LSGH's Student Affairs Central Body took over participation in this contest.

After 2004, the school felt a need to merge both organizations. This was because the members were at a decline and they both had the same objectives and purpose. So they established Club Rhetorique.[49] At the same time they created the Rhetoric elective for sophomore students.[50] Feeling the need for a more competitive debate institution, LSGH-HS's English Department and students from De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde established the La Salle Debate Team (LSDT) in the SY 2005–2006. The team has autonomy from rules of normal clubs and societies in LSGH and is officially under the Principal's Office, rather than under the Student Activities Coordinator.

The LSDT trained under members of the DLS-CSB debate society from 2005 to 2007 and then under members of the De La Salle University debate society from 2008 to today.[51] The LSDT has gone on to be Quarter-finalists at the 2008 National Asians High School Debate Championship[52] won the Ana Alano Cup at the 2008 and 2012 Philippine Schools Debate Championship and semi finalist in the same tournament in 2009 and 2010, and quarter-finalist in 2011 as well as advanced to the semi finals of the Asian Schools Debate Championship

Adult Night High School

The LSGH Adult Night High School (ANHS) was established by the Christian Brothers, in the mid-1970s to provide free, quality Lasallian education to the marginalized, the academic scholarships were not only provided for financially challenged students but also gave assistance to several physically disabled scholars through the LSGH Deaf Learners Program.[53]

The program teaches its scholars various vocational courses that would provide skills that empowered them to earn a source of livelihood for themselves. Most of the LSGH-ANHS scholars are post-teen years working students aged from 19 to 65 years who wish to continue their high school education and eventually pursue a 100% tuition-free university and college education later on in a Lasallian educational institution. The ANHS evening classes are held at the High School Building, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. after the regular students' morning classes.[53]

School emblem

The LSGH shield is quartered by the Holy Cross of Jesus. On the upper left, the three broken chevrons symbolizing the Spirit of Zeal are on the royal coat of arms of the De La Salle family representing the name of the school La Salle. The 3 broken chevrons represent the 3 broken bones suffered by warrior chieftain Johan Salla, a heroic ancestor of Saint La Salle, who fiercely defended and protected Christian Spain from marauding Moorish invaders from the East, a thousand years ago. The upper right contains the five-pointed Christmas Signum Fidei Star, the Sign of Faith/Hope the 350-year-old seal of the Brothers of the Christian Schools who established a worldwide network of 1,500 Lasallian educational institutions globally in 82 countries. The lower left portion contains a section of the Philippine flag signifying loyalty to the country. The lower right, with its hill represented in green, is for Green Hills, and the monument to signify Rizal Province localizes the location of the school.[54][55]

The shield is topped with a helmet and breastplate. The salvation of souls is the uppermost aim of the school, hence the "Helmet of Salvation" and the "Breastplate of Integrity" signify the primary objective. LSGH's motto – "To God, through faith, virtue, and culture" further emphasizes that the school offers all the greater honor and glory of God. In green and white in classical design, the name and place of the school surround the shield.[55]

Notes

  1. ^ The LSGH varsity team La Salle Greenies was taken from the, now defunct, De La Salle High School's varsity team De La Salle Greenies. Hence, the Green Archer, which was also the old mascot, is still the moniker of LSGH. (See Ateneo – La Salle rivalry for more information.)[1]
  2. ^ As depicted on a plaque on the entrance of FMAC.
  3. ^ One class in the 1st floor, Another in the 2nd floor, thus making the Retreat House capable of handling two retreats at once.
