Saint Mary's College High School was founded in San Francisco in 1863 as the secondary department of Saint Mary's College. The high school and college have been conducted by the De La Salle Christian Brothers since 1868. The schools moved to 29th and Broadway in Oakland in 1889, and in 1927 the high school moved to Berkeley and the college moved to Moraga in 1928. On Sunday, August 28, 1927, 3,000 people attended the dedication of the new high school building at Peralta Park in North Berkeley. Saint Mary's will mark 90 years at the current campus in 2017 and 155 years of Catholic education in 2018.
