Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (†1719) was a French priest, educational reformer, and founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools who is venerated as a saint of the Catholic Church. La Salle dedicated much of his life to the education of poor children in France; in doing so, he started many lasting educational practices. He is considered the patron saint for teachers of youth. He was beatified in 1888, and canonized on May 24, 1900, by Pope Leo XIII. His feast day is commemorated on April 7.
