____The school was founded as a humble response to the need of the Church through an invitation of the parish priest and of the bishop of the diocese. Encouraged by the parishioners to open a school for the religious and moral development of the youth in Toledo City, in 1958, Father Leonardo Arriba through the advice and guidance of Most Rev. Julio Rosales, Archbishop of Cebu, requested the Congregation of the Augustinian Recollect Sisters to undertake this noble task. After complying with all the requirements of the Bureau of Private Schools, classes started in June 1961, with 129 high school students. The first Superior/Principal was Sor Dolores de Sagrado Corazon, A.R.M. The school began to operate, serving the local community with the following goal: "To carry the religious and moral upliftment of the youth."
