COLEGIO DE SAN JOSE DEL MONTE

Genesis, City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan

Tel. (044) 8150511

email: [email protected]

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 RATIONALE - Rooted in the Scripture's example of service,

"I have come not to be served but to serve (Mk. 10:45);

Adhering to the educational principles summed up in the

declaration of Vatican II ( Gravissimum Educationis No.1 )

" A true education aims at the formation of the human

person with respect to his ultimate goal and

simultaneously with respect to the good of those societies

of which as a man, he is a member and whose

responsibilities, as an adult, he will share.";

Tasked by the Universal Church to highlight her apostolic

and pastoral mission and make the truth of the Gospel

shine forth to lead all people to seek and receive Christ's

love which surpasses all knowledge (Eph. 3:19,CCC Intro);

Guided by the local church's challenge to foster greater

cooperation between local school and families in the formation

of Christian values among young people (PCPII 49#1);

Responding to the national call for action on the evident

moral degradation and shift of values among youth;

The Parish Pastoral Council of St. Joseph the Worker Parish

founded Colegio de San Jose del Monte, a Catholic school which

aims to form Christian communities and thus, become promoters of

service to others. As a parochial school, she will strive to mold

Christian leaders who uphold the Gospel values through disciplined

classroom instructions, liturgical celebrations and community

apostolate under the inspiration of St. Joseph the Worker, theschool's patron saint, an obedient and humble man, a just and silent

servant, an honest, modest and prayerful workman.

1.2 HISTORY - The inspiration of establishing a parochial

school began in 1989 during one of the regular meetings of

Kriska Speakers' Bureau (KRISKA stands for Kristiyanong

Kapitbahayan or the Basic Christian Communities-BCC ).

6


7/84

It was held in a house called "Kubo ng Krisyanong

Kapitbahayan" (KKK) of Lucena Ka Cene Mateo, the PPC

Co-Chairman of St. Joseph Parish that time. Since it was a

scheduled meeting, there were invited speakers from the

Diocese of Malolos-Commission on Service who gave an

orientation about Non-Government Organizations (NGO's)and expounded on the principles of cooperativism.

After the discussion/evaluation and in response to the felt

need to form future Church volunteers and leaders , the

proposed creation of a parochial School was included in the

group's plan of action. They even set up the school's

administrators and personnel but because of lack of funds

and expertise, the idea was set aside.

Two years passed, on November 16, 1991, the parish

launched an environmental project called "Genesis"

sponsored by Kriska led by its Chairman, Francisca Nana

Kika Nepomuceno. It was an answer to the felt need of San

Jose del Monte to preserve its remaining natural resources,

especially its farmlands which have been converted to

subdivisions, its polluted rivers and denuded forests.

The project was called Genesis because the vision was to

create an atmosphere of the earth's Beginning, a serene

place, a garden full of flowers and trees, where butterflies

can freely fly and birds can soar high a friendly place where

parishioners can rest, play and pray.

Since then, the site was called Genesis, the place destinedto be the cradle of the soon to be built parochial school.

Finally, on April 15, 1996, during the meeting of the

Parish Church's Finance and Construction Committee, the

establishment of a parochial school was approved by Rev. Fr.

Enrico S. Santos, Parish Priest, upon the suggestion of Rev.

Fr. Ricardo L. Mercado, the Assistant Parish Priest and with

the agreement and promised cooperation of a group of layleaders who form the school's core group namely Engr.

Leonardo B. Nicolas, the appointed head of the School's

Construction Committee, Bro. Rodolfo Zamora, the

chairman of the Church Finance Committee, Architect

Leandro E. Dave and Leonardo B. Quintua, the artists who

were tasked to layout the school's logo.

8/84

Mrs. Macaria M. Agapito, Mr. Pepito P. Gerona and

Ms. Myrna R. Castillo were assigned to conduct pre-

operational school activities, including the processing of

DECS permit and recognition.

On June 10, 1996, St. Joseph the Worker ParochialSchool opened its doors to 19 preschoolers utilizing the

parish hall, St. Luke's Hall, as its first classroom. Courses

offered were Kinder 1 and Kinder 2.

When the time came for the school to be registered as a

parochial school offering pre-elementary, elementary and

high school at the Securities and Exchange Commission, it

had to change its name from St. Joseph the Worker toColegio de San Jose del Monte (CdSJdM) because there was

already a registered parochial school bearing the same

name.

On August 21, 1996, on the same day the change of the

name was approved, the classes were transferred to the new

building at Genesis.

On its second year, 1997-1998 CdSJdM Pre-Elementary

courses was granted Government Recognition No. E-056 s.

1997. On the same year it opened its Elementary Course,

Grades 1 to 3 and from then on, there was a steady increase

in the school's enrollment.

1997-1998 - 119

1998-1999 - 181

1999-2000 - 219

The school administrators opted not to open a complete

elementary course to ensure the quality of its graduates.

Instead, the school patiently waited for its first batch of

graders to reach the next higher grade level until S.Y. 2000-2001

9/84

On its fifth (5) year of operation, the school was able to

offer a complete elementary course.

On its sixth year, 2001-2002 CdSJdM welcomed and

added 40 first year and 7 second year high school students to

its flock. The same year the school was granted governmentrecognition for its Elementary Course E-006 S. 2002.

High School Recognition was granted on February 16,

2004, Government Recognition No. S-005, s. 2004.

2006-2007 - 593

The school now is a three-storey building with an ongoing

building expansion situated at Genesis, City of San Jose delMonte, a stone throw away from the Parish Church. Its

classrooms and canteens are venue to spiritual formation,

seminars and training of the different church organizations.

Some of the more salient features of Colegio de San Jose

del Monte aside from the values integration in its curriculum

are its admission requirements, its policy on limited

enrollment, minimal tuition fees for a Catholic education andthe active participation of its students in the liturgical

celebrations of the parish.

In the future, the school hopes to produce graduates who

will become honest and just workmen like St. Joseph, who

will be at the service of the church and nation.

1.3 LOGO

THE SCHOOLS LOGO

The school logo is in a circular form representing theextent of God's love for His children; there is no beginning

nor end, it's for eternity. At the center are St. Joseph, Mother

Mary and Jesus. They are placed at the heart and center of

the logo because they are the school's life, the models and

the goal of the school as an educational institution and as a

community. It is the school's vision that the students,

teachers, parents and other members of the school

community imitate the Holy Family in their search for thetruth, in their study and in their work.

As background is the sky, the heavens, the core and the

end-goal of the curriculum, it is hoped that every pupil may

strive to be good and true in everything they do to have a

taste of the heavenly banquet. It has three colors: blue,

yellow and red orange which stand for the sunrise, noon and

sunset symbolizing the three phases of man's life, it impliesthat each one must pass through these phases of life to reach

his goal.

There is a mountain at the back of the Holy Family

represented by the dark blue curves, this is San Jose del

Monte, this is where the school is, a mountain, a serene

place where God and man meet. As a school named after St.

Joseph, it is the school's mission to mold students who willbe like St. Joseph, he who kept Jesus in his heart and who

brought Jesus to the world humbly and quietly.

To realize her vision, CdSJdM relies on God the Father,

represented by the sun, the center of all her endeavors, and

calls upon the Holy Spirit symbolized by the dove as her fountain

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and

conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and wasburied. He descended into hell; on the third day He rose

again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated

at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there He

will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in

the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion

of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body

and life everlasting. AMEN.

13.7 NICENE CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and

earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord

Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the

Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true

God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial

with the Father; through Him all things were made. For us

men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, andby the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and

became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius

Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on

the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He

ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the

Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and

44


45/84

the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the

Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the

Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is

adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. I confess

one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward tothe resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

AMEN.
