1957年秋，于斌樞機主教在西貢發起創辦《自由太平洋協會》，並且成立自由太平洋通訊社，發行越華日報，出版自由太平洋月刊……等。為了栽培越華英語人才，在西貢開創《自由太平洋英文書院》，以推展英文教育，由於求學者眾，使書院又增開夜校。1959年春，在阮智芳街建立《自由太平洋高級中學》推廣中文教育。1963年為了記念雷鳴遠的公績，更名為「鳴遠高級中學」。1964年4月23日，自由太平洋協會將自由太平洋英文書院及中學，交由中國天主教耀漢會主辦，書院乃更名為《耀漢英文高級中學》。直迄1965年因越戰爆發，西貢治安異常紊亂，夜校因而停辦。迄1975年4月三31日，兩校高中初中學生數達六千餘名，教師職員工兩百四十位，每屆畢業生近千名，二十年間畢業生逾萬名，為全越華校之最高學府。
1975年之後，很多的畢業生移民世界各國，1983年，由南加州一群熱愛母校的前越南堤岸自由太平洋耀漢英文書院及鳴遠高級中學兩所學校的熱心校友，發起並成立「美國自由太平洋耀漢鳴遠校友會」。2001年，鑑於全球校友為數頗眾，各地亦有地區性之校友會組織，遂組成了聯合全球校友會之《世界自由太平洋耀漢鳴遠校友會聯合會》。
