History

Saint Jude Catholic School was opened in July 1963 by Fr. Peter Yang, SVD. While immersing himself with work among the parishioners of St. Jude Parish where he served as assistant parish priest in the late 50s, Fr. Yang saw the need to reach out to the Chinese community and shepherd them into God's fold.

Together with his co-founder, Mons. Peter Tsao, SVD, who was then parish priest of St. Jude Parish and with Fr. Charles Tchou as Prefect of Discipline and six teachers namely Ms. Rosa Chua Esteban, Ms. Josefine Uy, Ms. Angeline Onglatco, Ms. Rogracia Sunga, Ms. Corazon Sevilla and Ms. Amelita Simon, they started the hard work of building the school and establishing a reputation for excellence. Fr. Yang served as its first principal with Mons. Tsao as its first director.

Its early years saw an enrollment of one hundred ninety-two (192) boys and girls in the preschool and first grade levels complemented by a teaching force of nine (9) teachers.
