History
Carondelet was founded in 1965, by the
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]
