The pioneers were Sr. M. Emmanuel, Sr. M. Julia, Sr. M. Marie-Therese,Sr. M. Cleophas and Sr. M. Agatha. The sisters were provided quarters onthe other side of the parochial House and with a little Chapel too. The Sisters had charge of the whole school; however the Parish priest was the Manager. Every year, the number of students increased. The Middle School had 15classes-302 boys and 370 girls. The Primary (private) had 4 classes-191boys and 138 girls.
