History
In schoolyear 1985-86, the College Department was formally opened, with former High School Academic Assistant Mrs. Elsie Rabago appointed as Officer-in-Charge. The Grade School Department had to be phased out, albeit in hindsight, the phasing out turned out to be no more than a temporary move.
Br. Jaime Dalumpines went on to complete a 5-year term, the last of which was schoolyear 1987-88. He left soon afterwards for Canada for further studies, and was replaced by Br. Edgardo Jayme. The latter stayed for only a few months and left the school – as well as the Brothers – in mid-term. The Provincial, Br. Rafael Donato, came to meet with school administrators so that contingency measures might be undertaken. Ms. Norma Blanco was appointed Acting Principal, assisted up by a council made up of the Year Level Moderators and the Department Heads.
A new era was ushered in when Blanco was formally appointed as the first lay principal of the high school the following May. The position had erstwhile been given only to the Brothers.
Because of the rapid growth rate of the institution in the nineties, it became necessary in 1994 to appoint a resident president. The position was given to alumnus Br. Narcisio Erguiza, who in 1974 was briefly assigned to the school but had spent most of his years as a De La Salle Brother elsewhere.
During Erguiza’s first schoolyear in charge, Mr. Pablito Sarmiento, formerly head of the Religion Department, was appointed to the position of High School Principal, while Blanco continued on as Principal of the Grade School. Mrs. Winnie Dimaano joined the two academic unit heads in the President’s Council in her capacity as Controller, as did Mrs. Mirla Sucaldito of the newly created Human Resource Development Office.
Another service unit, External Services, was activated in June 1994, Erguiza’s second schoolyear at the helm. Mr. Rex Torrecampo, formerly Social Science Department Head, was appointed to the position.
With Erguiza opting not to pursue graduate studies at the end of his second year in office, Br. Rafael Donato was requested by Br. Benildo, the Provincial, to become President of the school. The latter accepted and was officially installed in ceremonies held on 15 May 1995. |
