History of Sacred Heart Catholic School of Cainta

Welcome to
Sacred Heart Catholic School of Cainta

The Sacred Heart Catholic School of Cainta was established on December 8, 1982 by Rev. Fr. Moises Maramba, a Diocesan priest of Antipolo. For some time, the school was named Light Child Care Center (LCCC) that catered to pre-school children. With its primary goal, to serve the underprivileged children of the neighbouring communities of Brookside Hills Subdivision, Cainta, Rizal. Light Child Care Center survived through the generosity of the benefactors. Different fund raising activities were held to generate funds that would finance its maintenance. When Fr. Moises left for the USA, the centre was managed by Board of Trustees until 1995. The following year, the centre, which was a small, old structure with one classroom, was turned over to the Diocese of Antipolo under the Most. Rev. Protacio Gungon, D.D. Bishop of Antipolo in 1997. Sr. Mary Celeste M. Perez, OSB, was appointed to manage and supervise the school. Rev Msgr. Mariano T. Balbago, Jr. then the Parish Priest of Our Lady of Light, and President of Cainta Catholic College changed light Child Care Center's name to Sacred Heart Catholic School of Cainta to synchronized with the name of the Parish in Brookside which is Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish The concerted effort of the new management paved the way to the opening of the Grade One class. Thereafter, one grade level was added every year. In 2001, the school had graduated its first batch of Grade Six pupils. An increasing number of enrolees prompted Sr. Celeste to initiate the construction of a new building for the Secondary Course.
