The Dominican Academy in Unisan, Quezon, formerly known as Holy Child Jesus Institute, is a private - non-sectarian, Roman Catholic School and a Filipino Dominican institution known in the Unisan academe. Founded in February 1948 by Jose Salvania, Parish Priest of St. Peter the Apostle Parish, it is one of the town's oldest school in terms of enrollment. ==History== In 1948, the Holy Child Jesus Institute of Gumaca, Quezon was established by Jose Salvania. Its aim was to give hope to young boys and girls as they started schooling. During that time, there were no local schools that offered a secondary education. This encouraged Fr. Salvania to open an extension of Holy Child Jesus Institute in Unisan, Quezon with the aim to help develop each individual in order to prepare himself for his or her final destiny, which, in his opinion, is a union with God. Mayor Arturo Constantino’s residence at the town served as grounds for the school. Mr. Armando Altea became the Administrator, while Mrs. Poiquinta Vargas worked as Registrar and Treasurer. Fr. Jose Salvania purchased a lot at Brgy, Rajah Soliman in 1952, upon which, despite its swampy condition, a two story building was created. Cecilio Putong, then the Secretary of the Department of Education, signed an award, called the Government Recognition #189, for the Holy Child Jesus Institute on March 19, 1953. In 1957, Fr. Jose Salvania turned over the administration of the institution to the Religious Missionaries of St. Dominic, whom he believed would offer the youth tremendous growth. Sr. Ma. Lourdes Moraleda, O.P., stood as the first Dominican Directress/Principal of the school. New policies came out in 1968 and Holy Child Jesus Institute was renamed Dominican Academy in honor of its founder, St. Dominic de Guzman. Sr. Immaculada Resultan, O.P., served as the Directress/Principal. Chaplains and/or parish priests in Unisan were the co-workers of the Dominican Sisters. They ensured the moral-spiritual groundwork, and continued existence of the school in the local community. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dominican Academy (Unisan, Quezon)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
