History
In 1907, the Recollect priest, Reverend Father Celestino Yolde, prescribed a well-defined and delineated program of education on reading, writing, Spanish language, religion, music, painting, and embroidery with Spanish as the medium of instruction, where classes were informally given by the Augustinian-Recollect Sisters. The next year, the school building was built and formal classes started with the approval of the Bureau of Private Schools. In 1911, the school was registered as "Colegio de Santa Rita", which offered Primary and Intermediate classes. English was included in the program of instruction and became the medium of teaching the following year. By the year 1921, the school adopted a new name, "St. Rita Academy", and then renamed as "Saint Rita College" in 1945. In 1948, College programs as well as vocational courses were offered. The school opened its doors to young boys by the year 2003. Saint Rita College celebrated its centennial year in 2007 with the theme "Love to Come Home." ==Gallery==
