Tradition

Saint Louis students are encouraged to become brothers, part of a greater family, which includes the entire staff of the school. This greater family is a component of a worldwide family of Christian people.

This Catholic Christian tradition lies at the very heart of the school and through the dedication of the Marianists. These devout men and women have dedicated their lives to God, vowing to follow the example of Christ, including his devotion to celibacy, poverty and spiritual growth. The Marianists recognize the strong influence of Mary as the mother of Christ and share in her compassion for all people. 

The Marianist activities extend far beyond the individual dedication to their religion. The Saint Louis family is just one of the special communities through which they achieve their goals by expanding their teachings to a wider horizon. 

The Blessed William Joseph Chaminade laid the foundations of the Marianists during the turbulent time of the French Revolution. Within his lifetime the Marianists extended their work from France to several European countries and to the United States in 1849.  Now there are 16 provinces of the Society in all parts of the world. The Marianists in Hawaii belong to the Province of the United States with headquarters in St. Louis, Missouri. The General Administration of the Society of Mary is located in Rome.

The Marianists are committed to the development and growth of Christian influence, helping people to an understanding of apostolic faith in relationship to the needs and customs of the times. They impart a positive attitude in conveying their beliefs with a purpose of establishing a sense of peace and justice for all people. Their influence on the entire community of Saint Louis is a positive one that leads to harmony, enrichment and spiritual growth.

History

Saint Louis School is the successor of the College of Ahuimanu, formerly in Windward Oahu, founded in 1846 by the Catholic Mission under the direction of the Fathers of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. In 1881, the school moved to its second location on Beretania Street adjoining Washington Place, now the Governor’s residence. At that time the name “College of St. Louis” was given to the institution in honor of Bishop Louis Maigret’s patron saint, Louis IX.

Growing enrollment soon required the Mission Fathers to relocate the school to Kamakela on the banks of Nuuanu Stream, and the College was placed under the direction of five pioneer Brothers of Mary (Marianists) who arrived from Dayton, Ohio in 1883.

In the years following, it became evident that the elementary and high school departments were in need of still larger quarters. Encouraged by parents and alumni, the Marianists laid plans for a greater St. Louis College. In the 1920s, land was purchased and plans were developed for moving to the present location. Classes began on Kalaepohaku in September 1928.

After sixty seven years of providing education at grade levels one through twelve, the elementary and intermediate grades were withdrawn one grade a year beginning in 1950. The Marianists established Chaminade College in 1955, on the east end of the campus. High school classes continued on campus until 1979, when the school's Board of Trustees voted to re-incorporate intermediate grades seven and eight, beginning in fall, 1980. A sixth grade was added and the intermediate grades were then converted to a middle school beginning with the fall semester of 1990.

In the new millennium, the school began a sequential expansion to include grades five and four, however today those grades were phased out and we start with the sixth grade. In the spring of 2011, The Clarence T. C. Ching Learning and Technology Center opened and is the School's first major classroom capital improvement project in 80 years.

Special academic programs have been developed at all grade levels to provide for a balanced and sequential approach to education in the Catholic tradition for all Saint Louis School students.

Since 1846, we have consistently transformed young adolescents into well-educated, thoughtful and proactive citizens.  Come and discover the institution filled with role models and mentors through academics, athletics, and campus life.

RETREAT SCHEDULE

Sixth Grade Retreat - "Trust In The Lord"
The theme of the retreat, "Trust In The Lord," is integrated into all activities led by a retreat team of sophomores and juniors. The three areas of focus are: (1) learning to trust yourself, (2) learning to trust others, and (3) learning to trust God. Hands-on activities are used to help the students on their journey of trusting others to be able to develop healthy relationships in the future.

Seventh Grade Retreat - "Who Do You Say I Am?"
The activities, led by a retreat team of juniors and seniors, are designed to help students answer the questions "Who am I?" and "Who is God to me?" Students are challenged to be true to themselves, others and God.

Eighth Grade Retreat - "Mary: Woman of Courage"
This hands-on retreat is aimed at helping students identify qualities needed to succeed in their faith life. Students will participate in activities that demonstrate the importance of faith, determination and teamwork. This retreat is led by a team of juniors and seniors.

Ninth Grade Retreat - "Mindful & Faithful"
Using the school motto "Memor et Fidelis," this retreat focuses on what it means to be a mindful and faithful young man. Led by seniors, the retreat activities are focused around the challenges of being a good friend, son and child of God.

Tenth Grade - "Anuenue"
By using their imagination, sophomores are brought to an experiential realization of the value of God and of the people in their lives. With a focus on the story of Noah, in which God establishes a new covenant with humanity, students express and share their experiences of God, themselves, family and friends to understand how much God loves them and how valuable they are. (Two days and one night at Camp Homelani)

Eleventh Grade - "Emmaus"
On the Emmaus retreat, students take a journey with the Apostles to Emmaus after Jesus’ Resurrection. Activities are designed to help juniors become more aware of the many ways God touches them and increases their awareness of His work. On their own personal journey, students experience the presence of Christ in a community setting that is brought about by sharing and celebrating together. (Two and one-half days, two nights; Saint Anthony Retreat Center)

Twelfth Grade - "KAIROS"
The Kairos (an awakening; special moment) retreat allows seniors to see the value of Christian faith as it is lived and experienced in the community. It gives them the opportunity to look within themselves and find their true worth and observe how this worth is reinforced in their relationships with God, their parents and their neighbors. (Three and one-half days, three nights; Saint Stephen’s Diocesan Center)

Marianist LIFE - Living in Faith Experience
Marianist LIFE is sponsored by the Marianist Province of the United States. Twelve students who are going into their senior year are chosen among their peers. This program is designed to enable high school students to establish and to nurture Marianist LIFE Communities in the tradition of the Marianists. These MLCs gather in faith and prayer, invite others to join, and participate in the mission of Jesus to serve others where the needs are most unmet in school as well as in the larger world of which they are citizens. (Six days, five nights; Mission Springs, Scott’s Valley, CA)

** Club members or students involved in clubs or student-related activities must be in good standing with the school – academics and citizenship – to attend and participate in any age-appropriate off-campus club event(s) regardless of day and time held. Members attending and participating in activities must have a 2.0 GPA and written clearance from the Vice Principal of Student Affairs.

Athletics

Team Schedules, Scores and Updates

The Crusaders have a proud history in its athletic program. We encourage and expect all our student-athletes to embrace the school's tradition of outstanding excellence in sport, sportsmanship, citizenship, and fair play. We are looking forward to an exciting season of success.

Athletics is an important aspect to education that Saint Louis School utilizes to help young men develop into responsible adults. As a school in the Marianist tradition, we build on and use insights of Father William Joseph Chaminade to foster an atmosphere that challenges the young man to move beyond what he perceives as his limitations.

Winning is an objective but not an end to itself. The desire to win and the preparation to win can be used as powerful tools to teach and incorporate important values into the development of young people. The following are the Characteristics of Marianist Education that are used as a guide to determine and explain the various duties of a coach at Saint Louis School in our continued effort to develop the complete Christian student-athlete.

PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of the Department of Athletics of Saint Louis School is that it considers athletics to be an integral part of the school's educational program and provides experiences that will help our students grow physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. We believe that by promoting sportsmanship, the athletic program helps to instill pride and reinforces a sound value structure for our students. Saint Louis School is committed to providing the best athletic program possible.
