Brief History

WE, THE MEMBERS of the Administration of St. Augustine’s School envision a Christ-centered, dynamic and effective school community.

St. Augustine’s School is an educational institution administered by the congregation of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres of French origin, in the Philippines. It is a Diocesan owned school under the Catholic Educational System in the Diocese of Iba (CESDI). During the latter half of 1961, Fr. Denis Egan of the Society of St. Columban, Parish Priest of Iba, in consultation with Bishop Henry Byrne, D.D. decided to open a Catholic School of Iba. It was also decided to begin with Kindergarten and Grades 1 , 2 and 3. An addition of a grade level yearly is done until the completion of Elementary and High School. Because there only hope of success was to give quality education, and Bishop Byrne brought all the pressure he could on the Mother Superior of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartes. Mother Charles de Jesus, to open their foundation in Iba, Zambales. May 23, 1962 – Four sisters arrived. They were Sisters Mary Thomas Fadera, SPC, Sr. Marieta Pimentero, SPC, Sr. Mildred Pimentel, SPC and Sr. Clemencia Dimalibot, SPC the first Superior and Principal.
