History

The Holy Rosary Academy was founded in 1948 by Manuel Mascariñas, D.D., the bishop of Palo, assisted by Fr. Gregorio M. Florendo, the parish priest of Hinunangan, in response to the request of some Catholics of the town. The school teaches its curriculum in English.

Palo, Leyte Municipality in Eastern Visayas, Philippines

Palo, officially the Municipality of Palo, is a 3rd class municipality in the province of Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 70,052 people.

The large parish convent was utilized as the initial school building. Several buildings and facilities were later added to meet the requirements of its students and the Bureau of Private Schools. There were setbacks including financial shortages and natural calamities.

A parish is a territorial entity in many Christian denominations, constituting a division within a diocese. A parish is under the pastoral care and clerical jurisdiction of a parish priest, who might be assisted by one or more curates, and who operates from a parish church. Historically, a parish often covered the same geographical area as a manor. Its association with the parish church remains paramount.

Convent Religious community

A convent is either a community of priests, religious brothers, religious sisters, monks or nuns; or the building used by the community, particularly in the Catholic Church, Lutheran Churches, and the Anglican Communion.

The school originally offered only a first to third year academic secondary course. There were two school years, 1950–52, in which it offered a complete secondary course plus a first year of Junior Normal College. But after the school year 1951-52, only a complete secondary course with vocational subjects was offered.

With later increase of enrolment, the school buildings became insufficient; in 1968, when Fr. Frederick Wakeham, SFM was in place, a new building was constructed where the old one stood, using funds collected locally and abroad.
