- History & Memorable Moments
- In 1956, the De La Salle Brothers of then De La Salle College Manila acquired a 6-hectare piece of land in the then undeveloped Green Hills area.
- In July 1959, La Salle Green Hills opened its doors to two preparatory sections and one section each for grades one and two.
- In 1959, the National Shrine of the Divine Child was inaugurated
- On August 24, 1960, La Salle Green Hills, Inc. was registered as a non-stock, non-profit corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
- In March 1964, the very first Grade School graduation took place.
- In August 1964, the High School was established.
- In 1966, The Lazette (a portmanteau of "La Salle" and "Gazette"), the first LSGH high school newspaper, was published and moderated by Br Rafe Donato FSC. (Its first editor-in-chief, Enrique Y. Teehankee [LSGH68/PR1MUS], topped the Philippine Bar Examination in 1976, probably the very first LSGH alumnus to do so.) In the December 20, 1966 issue of The Lazette [Volume I Number 4], the editorial box lists the following members of the "Board of Editors": Cliff Peronilla Jr. [Associate Editor]; Mike Enriquez [Managing Editor]; Joey Hernandez [Sports]; Paul Pascal and Popoy Diokno [Photography]; Jay Gervasio and Adie Pena [Art]; Ronnie Henares [Features]; and Alan Dakay, Dick Scheerer and George Bocobo [Contributing Editors], all from LSGH68/PR1MUS.

- In 1967, the construction of a dome-shaped structure in the school grounds began. (The St. Benilde Hall was completed in 1969. Nicknamed "siopao" by the students then, the gym/cafeteria has become the most recognizable building in the campus.)
- From March 26 to 31, 1968, CUE, the high school dramatics club, presented its first production, "The Fantasticks," directed by Br Rafe Donato FSC.
- On April 25, 1968, the first high school class [PR1MUS] graduated from La Salle Green Hills.
- In 1968, SCOPE, the first La Salle Green Hills high school annual was published. Featuring sketches (instead of the standard B&W photographs) of the 188 graduating seniors and a 45 RPM vinyl disc containing original songs, the four-volume edition encased in a black slipbox was conceptualized by Br Rafe Donato FSC.
- In 1968, the La Salle Green Hills Greenies (formerly La Salle Green Hills Rangers) entered the NCAA as the Junior Reps of then De La Salle College Manila, taking over the slot of the latter's phased out High School. Some notable past members of the basketball team are Mike Bilbao [LSGH68/PR1MUS], Jay Gervasio [LSGH68/PR1MUS], Celso Villegas [LSGH69/SEGUNDOS], Tony Atayde [LSGH70/TERTIUS] and Virgil Villavicencio [LSGH71/QUARTUS].
- In 1971, The Christian Troubadours, the forerunner of Kundirana (its name is a portmanteau of "Kundiman" and "Harana"), was formed.
- From November 21 to 22, 1973, the first formal accreditation of the LSGH High School Department by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities [PAASCU] took place. (After receiving a series of 3- and 5-year accreditation grants through the years, LSGH received an unprecedented 7-year grant in 1998. After the last PAASCU visit in September 2005, the High School of La Salle Green Hills was given another 5 year grant.)

(Since then, it has been used every six years for presidential election ballot counting by the NAMFREL.)
- In 1995, the High School transferred to a building named in honor of Br Mutien-Marie FSC.
- On August 25, 1997, the five floors of the Br Mutien-Marie Building (consisting of classrooms, offices, multi-purpose rooms, work areas, cybersphere and reading area) were dedicated to the pioneer Brothers in La Salle Green Hills, namely: Br Alphonsus Bloemen FSC for the ground floor, Br Francis Cody FSC for the second floor, Br Denis Ruhland FSC for the third floor, Br Hugh Damian Wester FSC for the fourth floor, Br Mel Bock FSC for the fifth floor, Br Peter Graves FSC for the Reading Area, Br Vernon Poore FSC for the Science Laboratories.
