OVERVIEW
    The Mother Shepherd School is where I spent my entire pre-school, elementary and high school
days. I had so many wonderful and memorable experiences in this school particularly my Sophomore
and Senior years. From here I have gained confidence and trust within me inspite of the struggles
and hazards we met.
* Unfortunately, our dear school has to end its service. SY 1999-2000 was its last school year service.

SCHOOL SEAL
    A student of Mother Shepherd School should keep in view the ideals on which Mother Shepherd
School is founded. Love for country and sanctity in education, all directed towards the attainment of
the goal - GOD'S GREATER HONOR AND GLORY THROUGH MARY - are the ideals fittingly
illustrated in the seal of the school. The tripartition with the background of white, yellow and blue stands
for the colors upheld by the school. The laurel leaf on the right symbolizes intelligence: the torch on
the right stands for the beacon illuminating Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao while A.D. 1982 stands for
the year the school was founded.
    Mother Shepherd School's task is to provide the youth with education founded on Christian
ideals and spirit. These symbols are emblazoned on a circle to imply that armed and protected by
Mother Shepherd Schools ideals, the student's will serve God, Country and Neighbor. Inside the
triangle is the Holy Cross which denotes supremacy of God, the Father over all things, as Protector
of the country and the Mother Shepherd School.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
    What started as a weekend tutorial classes of fifteen (15) pupils is now a progressive school.
    The school was inaugurated in the school year of June 1982 to 1983 renting a unit which was
remnant of a previous Pre-School in Building 7. The teacher/Directress has to resign from De La
Salle-Zobel in order to concentrate fully to her initial enrolees of thirty-seven (37) Kindergarten
and thirty (30) for Nursery.
    The school was conceived in mid-year 1981 as a Saturday tutorial class intended for La Salle
and Benedictine Abbey graders who have deficiency in their academics. The classes were held in
a terrace, four (4) square meters in area, a part of the household of the founder who is a beneficiary
of a unit of Building 1, BLISS Site, Muntinlupa. The chairs and tables were collapsible but the
lessons are fixed yet flexible. Before the year ended, the teacher/Directress was flooded with
commenting requests from satisfied parents to put up a pre-school. What followed next was a
comprehensive project study and implementation.

COMMITMENT
    When the school was inaugurated in 1982-1983, the plan was limited to operate only
Pre-School Department. The need to expand yearly was felt because of the growing trust of
parents in the development of their children. Reciprocating the trust and confidence the parents
have shown to the school, the administration is committed for the continuity of learning of their
children. A technical school is soon to be established as part of the continuous lessons program
with the emphasis on Computer Engineering and Computer Technology. Complimenting these
computer course, Industrial Management and Business Administration will be offered together
with Electrical Technology, Mechanical Technology, Electronics, and Engineering/Drafting courses.
    The road ahead is rough and the course is challenging. Behind her back, the school has
survived eight (8) difficult yet gratifying experience in years. With the help of the patronizing
and supportive parents, dedicated and capable administrators who thrive on problems and
difficulties, and the Supreme Being on their side, Thy will be done.

PHILOSOPHY
    The school was founded on love, faith and hardwork. Love to a special woman who loves children
and dearest to the Founder - his wife; faith to the Blessed Mother who the name of the school was taken
and hardwork for the reason that God helps those who help themselves.

     Mother Shepherd School therefore exists on the basis of reciprocity. Love begets love. Love for
children is the guiding spirit and inspiration that giving them the best education mentally, physically,
morally, and spiritually are of prime importance. Faith, because it is the enlightening spirit that
conquers all odds, difficulties and burdens. Hardwork, because it is the moving force that carries
all the loads and hardships.

     If faith has moved mountains, for the Founder - Love, Faith and Hardwork have built
Mother Shepherd School.

OBJECTIVES OF MOTHER SHEPHERD SCHOOL
   The objectives of the Mother Shepherd School shall be to realize in every student a synthesis of
culture and faith, and synthesis of faith and life: the first is reached by integrating all the different
aspects of human knowledge through the subject taught in the light of the Gospel; the second - the
growth of the virtues characteristic of a true Christian.

HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL (continued)
    To accommodate the growing enrolees, the school transferred to a bigger space. In 1984-1985,
the school transferred to a new home in the ground floor of Building 8, the remnants of a garment
business. In here, the school expanded up to Grade III until for school year 1986-1987. In 1985-1986,
the school had branched out in Adelina I in San Pedro, Laguna offering Nursery, Kindergarten and
Preparatory to Grade I.
    At the start of the school year 1986-1987, the school has anticipated another problem of space
shortage. The BLISS Site can no longer accommodate any expansion. One is certain though that
putting up a building is inevitable.
    Everything is set in putting up the building but not until the newly constructed market at MBAI
Commercial Complex in Soldiers Hills ceased to operate. After a whirlwind negotiation with the
authorities of the MBAI, a similar whirlwind improvement of the site was started in preparation for
the school year 1987-1988.
