In September of 1957 Cathedral School For Boys was opened in the Cathedral's bell towers. It was founded by the Dean, C. Julian Bartlett, and some parents seeking an alternative to the other private schools in San Francisco. On June 3, 1965 the school's current building was created inside the Cathedral's close. [3]
One year later on September 12, 1966, the new school building was opened. In 1996, the current building was expanded to create rooms for the kindergarten and 8th grade.
