Jesus Good Shepherd School (JGSS, Good Shepherd or simply Shepherd) is a private Catholic coeducational basic education institution run by the Sisters of Jesus Good Shepherd in Barangay Palico II, Imus, Cavite, Philippines. It was founded in 1965 by the Pastorelle Sisters. JGSS is the first school founded by the Pastorelle Sisters in the Philippines

Contents

The school offers primary education (Junior Kinder & Senior Kinder, Grades 1–6) and secondary education (Grade 7–10) with emphasis on Catholic religious education.

Brief history

The Jesus Good Shepherd School came about in response to the clamor of local parents to have their children educated in a Roman Catholic school. The Pastorelle Sisters inaugurated the first Kindergarten and Grade One with classes in two rooms of the Bishop's residence in Imus. The first regular school day on July 7, 1965, welcomed 132 boys and girls with Sr. Cristina Justo and Sr. Catherine Cleofe as the first kindergarten and grade one teachers, respectively. Thereafter, a new grade level had been added each year.

As the school population grew, an old garage and more rooms had to be transformed into more classrooms, congesting the Bishop's residence. The Pastorelle Sisters eventually purchased a large tract of land in Barangay Palico, Imus, and in 1969, the new school building and campus were inaugurated. From its humble beginning of secluded halls and garage, Jesus Good Shepherd School has grown into a progressive Catholic school for boys and girls.

Golden Jubilee

On July 7, 2012, they started a 3 Year Preparation for the Golden Jubilee happened last 2015.

Partnerships

They are currently having a partnership with Loyola College, Australia. Last 2015, the administrators checked the school. In 2016, they had an immersion among the students of Loyola College.

Buildings and facilities

Currently, the fenced campus is composed of three school buildings, a separate gymnasium, a canteen, the Sister's house, and a Chapel.

Main Building (Sts. Peter and Paul Blg.)

The Main Building houses the Kindergarten rooms in the ground floor, and the Grade School rooms occupy the second and third floors. It also holds the Principal and Registrar's offices of the Elementary Department, the science laboratory for the intermediate level, activity rooms, and the archives room, which was the old library before it was transferred to the High School building.

Annex Building (Mother Alberta Scalet Blg.)

The Annex Building, a two-story structure, is the smallest building in the JGSS campus and houses the rest of the Grade School classes.

Junior High School Building (Blessed James Alberione Blg.)

The High School building is the newest and the largest of the three buildings. It is a five-story building that houses the E.P.P. room, the library, the Guidance Counselor's office, the school clinic, and from the second floor to the fourth, the High School rooms. (The fifth floor was closed for certain reasons)

JGSS Gymnasium (Covered Court/Multi-Purpose Hall)

In late 2007, the Gymnasium was completed and it is now where sports activities are held while also housing the physical education office of the school. The stage inside the gym is now the primary venue where most of the school events are held. It has the largest floor area amongst the buildings in the campus and can hold all the students of the school at once.

Senior High School Building

To provide the needs due to the K-12 Curriculum Implementation in the Philippines, the Senior High School building was blessed on 2017 by Rev. Fr. Jose Aripio, SSP.

Canteen

The school has a separate canteen which is located next to the Annex building. They also made an extension at the back of the main canteen building.

The Convent

The Convent, which is usually called the "Blue House" because of its color, is where the nuns and postulates reside and where the students' recollections are done. Other convents are "Yellow House" and the Former Canteen.

Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd Chapel

The Chapel was built in February 2014. The chapel was blessed by the Bishop of the Diocese of Imus, Most Rev. Reynaldo G. Evangelista, OFS, DD. Before being a chapel, it was a stage and a piece from the floor of the stage is in the chapel, the stage was created in 1971.

Other facilities

The school grounds also has a large field where volleyball events are held. At the side of the field is the old stage, the venue for the old programs before the gymnasium was built. Behind it is another EPP room where fourth to six graders could come and do their projects.

All around the campus, bahay kubos [nipa huts] are placed wherein students can eat, study and hang out. In addition, there is a covered area for parents waiting for their kids, located in the threshold of Gate 2, main entrance.
