E. HISTORY OF SIPS
1971 saw the coming of the Sisters of Mercy as the appointed administrators of the school because Fr. Salvador had been appointed parish priest of Talisay, Cebu . Their term ended in 1975. In 1976 Father Firmo S. Dayao was appointed school head but soon after had to give up the position on the account of his appointment as formator in the San Carlos Seminary College in Mabolo, Cebu City
Corllary to this development and because of the death of the SIPS Founder, Archbishop Manuel S. Salvador was constrained to take the helms of administration with the assistance of the Daughters of St. Teresa. Mrs. Isabel E. Oljol was appointed as the first lay principal of the school. During years 1989 to 1993, a library and a one-storey concrete structure, the Padre Veronico S. Salvador Building
After the sudden death of Archbishop Salvador in 1996, the Archdiocese of Cebu had given order that the school would be administered by the Daughters of St. Teresa. Sr.Ma. Therese Sombrio, DST was the first DST school head.
Upon the retirement of Mrs. Oljol in 1997, Sr. Ma. Esterlita L. Lauros, DST was appointed as the first DST principal. One of the challenging realities faced by the new administration was the fact that one-fourth of the school’s total lot area was only rented. later when that parcel of land was offered to the school for acquisition, the Archbishop of Cebu helped the school to procure the said lot area.
In the year 2000 the Pre-Elementary Department was established. Subsequently, the Elementary Department in the year 2001 was also opened in order to address the felt to provide SIPS clientele complete Basic Education.
The strength of SIPS’ educational leadership and the resilience of the school community were put to the test on February 11, 2002 when a blaze burned down the two-storey wooden building. With the Divine Providence at work in the indefatigable resolve of the SIPS Family to beat all odds, the concrete four-storey Santa Teresa de Avila Building rose from the ashes of the catastrophic event.
A new apostolate brought Sr. Lauros to Trinidad, Bohol in 2003. She was replaced by Sr. Ma. Irene Macaraya, DST as school principal. The following school year, Sr. Lauros was reappointed principal with Rev. Fr. Eduardo O. Ventic, from the Archdiocese of cebu, as interim school head. More blessings were showered upon SIPS during this time: procurement of a school vehicle and additional parcels of land to increase the lot area of the campus as well as the opportunities for faculty development and personnel welfare.
A new school head was appointed in the year 2006 to oversee the daily operations of the school. Fr. Arnie Z. Visitacion started the impetus of the much needed reform in the school’s accounting system. This led to the beginnings of a comprehensive institutional review and the transition from the DST educational leadership to an exclusive and direct Archdiocesan administration and supervision.
The year 2008 witnessed a new era in the life and ministry of SIPS when the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cebu appointed three archdiocesan seminary fathers to bring about timely reforms in and create new situations for the SIPS system in response to current trends and issues in educational management: Fr. Crescenciano T. Ubod, J.C.L., as school treasurer; Fr. Joseph C. Yntig, M.A.P.M., as school principal; and Fr. Jesper John R. Petralba, Ed.D., D.M., as school director. Just a few months into their educational ministry, the triumvirate of priest-administrators with the blessing of the newly constituted SIPS Board of trustees implemented a new organizational set-up responsive to the demands of academic excellence characterized by a strong Catholic trademark and global competitiveness.
Blessings came in abundance during their fledgling pastoral endeavors in the vineyard of education: construction of the four-storey Jubilee Building, the rewiring and re-piping of the entire campus, construction of comfort rooms in all existing classrooms, revision of the administrative, personnel and student manuals to promote quality of life and the fulfillment of all the requirements for the application of the SIPS Elementary Department for government recognition – just to highlight a significant few.
This school community believes that all this is just a prelude to something more and something better. While remaining grateful for the lessons of the past, SIPS looks forward with hope to the realization of her vision-mission in the appointed time. She does not know what the future holds for her, but she knows WHO holds her future. She is inviting us to join her writing the chapters of her ongoing story.

Prayer before Logging into the Internet
Almighty and Eternal God,
Who created us in Thy image
And bade us to seek after all that is good, true and beautiful,
Especially in the divine person
Of Thy only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
Grant we beseech Thee that,
Through the intercession of Saint Isidore, bishop and doctor,
During our journeys through the internet
We will direct our hands and eyes
Only to that which is pleasing to Thee
And treat with charity and patience
And those souls whom we encounter.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen
