History

Carondelet was founded in 1965, by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet. [1] as suggested by the first Bishop of Oakland, California, Bishop Floyd Begin of Oakland. [1] At that time, Carondelet was the only Catholic high school for girls in Contra Costa County. It opened in September 1965, consisting of only six classrooms and six teachers, three sisters and three lay women. [1] The freshman class was of only 115 young women.

The school was completed on October 22, 1966, and was dedicated to Bishop Floyd Begin.

In September 1969, Carondelet established a cooperative academic program with De La Salle High School, [2] the all-boys Roman Catholic campus located across the street. [1] Thus, Carondelet expanded their academics by allowing juniors and seniors from both schools to attend selected classes from either campus. [1]
