HISTORY
“The prime purpose of this school is for the glory of God. Let no one teach here anything that will alienate
man from God. Let not this school be the battleground of warring students… Let no one destroy the brotherly
love that should exist between teachers and students… Above all, let the implementation and completion of
God’s words be the prevailing atmosphere inside this structure where wisdom dwells."
Bro. ERAÑO G. MANALO
