BRIEF HISTORY:

With the development of Iloilo’s port in the last century, people from the province migrated to the city to work as stevedores. With the doldrums suffered by the sugar industry, many a family left their children to roam the streets. Feeling the need to educated those less fortunate children of the Parish, Fr. Manuel Diez Aguado in 1912 established a free school in the first floor of the convent. During the first years it was supported by the Centro Catolico Diocesano of Iloilo. In later years a group of prominent ladies of the parish, took upon themselves the task to collect and solicit funds for the maintenance of the school. As enrollment increased, Fr. Casimiro Garcia, built in the late 1960s the preent bowling alley to generate some income to defray the expenses of the school. In 1970, Fr. Rafael Arguelles, then parish priest of San Jose, constructed the present school buildings.
