Saint Gabriel Academy (also known as SGA or St. Gabriel Academy), is a Catholic Diocesan[1] School in Caloocan City, owned by the Diocese of Caloocan and formerly administered by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC).
Brief History
St. Gabriel Academy is a parochial school under the Diocese of Caloocan. Msgr. Pacifico Mendoza established a preschool, which in time became what is now St. Gabriel Academy.
It was in school year 1968 – 1969 when the school began its operation under the headship of Sr. Marie Lorraine, M.M. then the principal of St. James Academy would continue their secondary education at St. James Academy.
With the transfer of Msgr. Pacifico Mendoza, Fr. Alfredo Santos took over the directorship until 1979. He was followed by Fr. Norberto Habos in which events turned out significantly when Jaime Cardinal Sin commissioned the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres to administer the school. Mother Marie dela Croix, SPC, appointed Sr. Fideliza Portillo, SPC as the first principal in the year 1979-1980.
In the new millennium the High School department began operation.
Rev. Msgr. Alex V. Amandy became school director on April 1, 2002 and renovated the physical plant which led to the completion of the high school building into five-story edifice with its gymnasium in the 5th floor.
