History
In the 1940s Bishop F.B Cialeo, OP, first Bishop of Multan requested the La Salle Brothers to run this school in Multan.
The La Salle High School Multan is one of the missionary institutions that were initiated by Sir John Baptist De La Salle (the founder of the La Sallian community).
Rev. Bro. Lawrence Manuel was the longest serving principal of La Salle Higher Secondary School, Multan, i.e. from 1986 to 2007. The current principal is Bro. Zafar Daud.
The principal of the school said that Christian educational institutions have contributed a lot in nurturing the country's leadership. He was responding to Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif's 9 June 2008 promise to make Punjab a 100 percent literate province by 2010.
The school's most prominent alumnus is Yousaf Raza Gilani, ex-prime minister of Pakistan. Brother Emmanuel Nicholas who taught Gilani in the 1960s, was reunited with his student during a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation meeting in Colombo in March 2008. In 2011, he recommended to the President of Pakistan that Bro. Emmanuel be given the Tamgha-i-Pakistan (Medal of Pakistan) for services he had rendered towards the uplift of the poor in Pakistan. The medal was awarded to him on 23 March 2012, at the Pakistan High Commission in Colombo.
