SJBHS is named after Saint John Bosco. It was founded as an elementary and intermediate boarding school by the Salesians of Don Bosco in 1940. The first high-school class graduated in 1956, and in 1979 the boarding school closed. Its sister school is St. Joseph High School (Lakewood, California)

During the Second World War, portions of the school were used as a military barracks.
