Fr. Ladislas Parker, O.Praem. (19 Dec 1915 - 3 Jan 2010);
Saint Michael's Preparatory School is a private, Roman Catholic, college preparatory boys' boarding school in Silverado, California. It is located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. It is owned and operated by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michael's Abbey, who established it in 1961 as St. Michael's Junior Seminary and Novitiate.
St. Michael’s is run by the Norbertine Order. An abbey school, it adjoins a community of 60 priests, many of whom teach at the school.Religious education is compulsory for all students, as is daily attendance at morning mass before breakfast and night prayer after supper. Studies in Latin are also mandatory, except for the students who take Spanish.
St. Michael's Prep offers a classical sequence of courses at College Prep, Honors, and Advanced Placement levels. It is the only boarding school to rank among the top fifty Catholic High Schools in the nation. 100% of its graduates go on to institutions of higher learning. This is considered a highly selective high school.
St. Michael's educates young men in fidelity to the Catholic intellectual tradition. It is exclusively a boarding school, with students and teachers living and working together in five-day & seven-day boarding programs. St. Michael's offers significant opportunities for wholesome growth through clear standards. Good behavior is enforced among the students through the "conduct grade" which directly impacts student GPA, and a system of prefects called "roomleaders".
Most students participate in one or more sports. These include Cross Country and Football in the fall, Soccer in the winter, and Baseball in the spring. Underclassmen who do not participate in a sport must take the physical education class. The school mascot is the Pioneer.
