On 1st of January 1960, the Rt. Rev. Dr. F.B. Cialeo OP, Bishop of Multan handed over the management of a new English medium school to the La Salle Brothers and it was named after the name of the Congregation of the La Salle Brothers as” La Salle High School, Multan.”

Stephen Harding Malqueen presided at the assembly held in the School Hall. The Pakistan National Anthem was sung and a short prayer offered to God to call down a special blessing on the new school. The headmaster then addressed the boys and staff He appealed to help build up a worthy tradition for the new La Salle School. “For God, for Right” was to be the motto of the school.
