History

In June 1984, CNJP formally opened its doors to 18 pre-elementary boys and girls. In January 1990, CNJP was conferred the Certificate of Recognition by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lucena. On July 17 of the same year with Dr. Rosalie Batocabe as educational consultant, the school received its Government Recognition No. K-025 for its nursery, kindergarten and preparatory courses to grade one. Every year, a new curriculum level has been added until the first batch of elementary students graduated in 1999.

Mrs. Batocabe was then the high school principal of Maryhill Academy on sabbatical for her doctoral studies at De La Salle University, Manila. She accepted the invitation and the following year began work at the school.

The Parents’ Coordinating Council was organized with Mrs. Teresita R. Glorioso as president. Its fund raising project, the Search for Munting Mutya at Lakan ng Casa was launched. It became a yearly event aimed at raising more funds for the construction of the envisioned school building on the vacant lot within the churchyard.

Financial support for the construction were sourced form the two year fund-raising programs of the Parents’ Coordinating Council and from donations of parishioners. The Daughters of Mary of the Immaculate Conception and the Knights of Columbus made possible the building of a stage at the churchyard.

During SY 1997-98 under the leadership of Msgr. Antonio L. Obeña, the six standard-sized classrooms were added to the school building. The construction was under the management and supervision of Mr. Bonifacio Orgas II, chairman of infrastructure, Mr. Domingo Luce, financial officer and the members of the board of trustees. Computer education was included in the grade school curriculum in 1995. In 1998, CNJP offered the first curriculum year for the secondary course under the kind assistance and effort of Mrs. Liberacion G. Alabastro, who conducted enrollment campaign to open the first year secondary level. She was appointed Principal for the first four years of the Secondary Department from 1998 to 2002; and had the first batch of graduates in March, 2002.
