Christian Brothers High School

What Christian Brothers High School does

Christian Brothers High School is a private, nonprofit Lasallian Catholic college-preparatory high school operating on a single campus at 4315 Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd., Sacramento, California. Founded in 1876 and celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2026, the school serves approximately 900 students in grades 9-12, supported by 101–250 employees. It is part of the global Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools (De La Salle Christian Brothers) network. The school offers a college-preparatory curriculum with AP and Honors courses across English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, World Languages, and Religious Studies, complemented by a 1:1 iPad program with digital citizenship training and integrations with PowerSchool (SIS), Schoology (LMS), and Scoir (college counseling).

Co-curricular programming is a central differentiator: four-year Visual Arts, Instrumental Music, Choral, Theatre Arts (with SARTA Elly Award recognition), KBFT student television, and The Talon student newspaper. Athletics compete in the Sac-Joaquin Section, highlighted by the annual Holy Bowl rivalry game against Jesuit High School. The school also operates a Summer School and Summer Fun Program and pre-high school camps for grades 2-8 in STEAM, robotics, theatre, and sports. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition (undisclosed publicly, with over $3 million in annual need-based assistance), supplemented by event ticket sales (TicketSpice, GoFan), apparel sales via Global Schoolwear and Tommy Hilfiger, and fundraising through Founder's Day of Giving, Falcon Fund, and CB Extravaganza events processed via Blackbaud and GiveSmart.

The school's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: Open House events, campus visits, SchoolAdmin online registration, and a robust CB Stories testimonial program. Approximately 60+ student clubs, active diversity and inclusion programming (Black Student Union, DEIB Committee), and a Lasallian alumni network drive word-of-mouth referrals. Recent leadership transitions include Principal Cecilia Powers (2026, succeeding her interim role) and incoming President Crystal LeRoy, Ed.D. The school is governed by a Board of Trustees and operates as a mission-driven nonprofit rather than a profit-maximizing entity.
