La Salle University (LSU), formerly known as Immaculate Conception College-La Salle, is a member school of De La Salle Philippines located in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines. It was formally opened in 1929 by the Society of Jesus in the Philippines. It was formally turned over to the De La Salle Brothers in the Philippines in 1994 and was granted university status in 2006 and was renamed La Salle University. The history of ICC-La Salle dates back to the establishment of a parochial school within the responsibility of the Parish of the Immaculate Conception, which was established in 1789. The school was established by the Recollect parish priest, Fr. Constancio Arsenio, with the first classes being the Cartilla, the Misterio, the Trisagio, and the Novena. In 1929, as the Jesuit priests replaced the Recollects, Fr. Gabriel Font SJ formally established the Immaculate Conception School. Its first teachers were Mr. Juan Fuentes and his sister, Cirila and thirty students registered. In 1935, the government officially recognized the school's elementary program. In 1939, the priests of the Society of St. Columban took over the administration from the Jesuits. Fr.
