• History & Profile
• A successful educational institution definitely begins in a
strong foundation and that is the basic education. With
this, the Secondary School Department steered the
progress of the university by nurturing and developing
young minds. The dedicated men and women who
labored to make the department as one of the best venues
to gain a high school diploma. With the perfect
combination of the four principals and faculty who once
honed the characters, talents, and skills of the young
people who passed through its doors, the SSD progress
continues…
5. • At present, the Secondary School Department has created a resilient
mark in providing quality education. And certainly, its history had
shaped the department to be one of the best schools all throughout the
region.
• The Beginning (1947-1974)
• The first principal of the high school department was Mr. Paterno L.
Africa, one of the incorporators of the then Luzonian Colleges. He
served the department with a passion for excellence for twenty-seven
years. There were fourteen teachers under his supervision who beefed
up the teaching force of the department.
• Four sections comprised the first set of graduating students who led a
closely controlled high school life. But the rigid discipline worked well.
Many students shone in interschool competitions, sports, academics,
and even in beauty pageant.
6. The rapid development of the department
is credited to Mr. Africa who left deep-
rooted influences. He will always be
remembered as the principal who
conducted a clinical supervision by
monitoring classes, writing down
observation for improvement purposes,
calling teachers for a conference, and
reaching program for further
enhancement. He is certainly an icon.
The Middle Years (1974-1994)
The retirement of Mr. Africa pave way for
another period of the high school
department. Mr. Porifirio Quisao embraced
the challenge of becoming the next one to
touch and lead the young people.
