Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila
School was conceived in the midst of political disorder, decline in
values, and much uncertainty during the mid 80’s. Inspired by the EDSA
Revolution of February 25, 1986, Mrs. Lydia Cuevas – Vicente, upon
consultation with her colleagues in the field of education, founded
LRMS as a school with a vision to mold future leaders willing to serve
others, the community, the nation, and even the whole world.
The school formally opened on June 13, 1990 offering Preparatory and
Grade One classes to 128 pupils with some 13 faculty and staff. LRMS
was then a one-storey building with eight classrooms in its present
location at Phase I, Vista Verde Executive Village, Cainta, Rizal. The
Preschool course was granted its government recognition on October 9,
1992.
With the three-storey edifice constructed, its Grade School course was
completed in School Year 1992-1993, and granted government recognition
on April 13, 1994. The First Year of High School was offered in S.Y.
1993-1994, receiving DECS recognition for Secondary Education in April
1994. The buildings for the High School and Preschool were inaugurated
on September 28, 1996, feast of LRMS’s patron Saint, St. Lorenzo Ruiz.
With the school’s continued growth, LRMS has graduated its first batch
of Ruizians in March 1996, giving honor to the school for topping the
NSAT in Region 4 (for the Category 50 Students and below) and for
winning the Regional Balagtasan and Essay Contests. By this time,
LRMS, with its employees, was serving a student population of 1,500.
With the desire to fulfill the very reason for LRMS’ existence, the
school’s vision and mission was revisited in December 1998 with
Administrators, representative teachers, staff, and parents working
together. It was then that the office of the Human Resources
Management and development was created to further strengthen the
school's organizational structure, a glimpse of the unity that the
school hopes to build in its community.
With the School’s new vision and mission in the heart of every
Ruizian, the school hymn was sung for the first time in S.Y. 1999-2000
as LRMS celebrated its ten years of service and commitment to the
education of the youth.
Embarking on the new millennium, Lorenzo Ruiz de Manila School
continues its quest for excellence amidst all the country’s problems
with the opening of a new Preschool Building for the Preschool with an
upgraded program for Early Childhood Education in S.Y. 2000-2001.
On its fifteenth year, the school launched itself to a renewed
commitment to be a catalyst of change in society, with the clarity of
the school’s philosophy, institutional, and educational programs
benchmarking on character formation, academic competence, and personal
enhancement. Animated with the spirit of love, the administrators,
faculty, and staff are united to pursue the vision and mission for
which they are called and to heightsLorenzo Ruiz de Manila School is
destined for. |
