Cathedral School for Boys (also known as CSB or merely Cathedral) is a private, all male, K-8 school located on Nob Hill in San Francisco, affiliated with Grace Cathedral. It was founded in 1957 and is notable for its choir, directed by Jeffery Smith. The school's choir has been on several critically acclaimed international tours to (most recently,) London and Paris and has performed many concerts. [1] Mayor Gavin Newsom issued a proclamation that declared October 14, 2006 as "Cathedral School for Boys Day". October 14 was the celebration of CSB's 50th Anniversary. [2]

History
In September of 1957 Cathedral School For Boys was opened in the Cathedral's bell towers. It was founded by the Dean, C. Julian Bartlett, and some parents seeking an alternative to the other private schools in San Francisco. On June 3, 1965 the school's current building was created inside the Cathedral's close. [3] One year later on September 12, 1966, the new school building was opened. In 1996, the current building was expanded to create rooms for the kindergarten and 8th grade.
