Brief History of Leonides S. Virata Memorial School

When the Rio Tuba Nickel Mining Corporation (RTNMC) started its full operation in

1977, one concern that needed immediate attention was the education of the children of theemployees within its mining property in Rio Tuba, Bataraza, Palawan. To address this concern,

RTNMC entered into a joint agreement with the Ministry of Education in school year (SY)1978-1979. RTNMC constructed at its own expense within the RTN compound a modern school

building consisting of ten (10) classrooms and other facilities and equipment for the operation of

a public elementary school. The school under the management of the Ministry of Education was

named Leonides S. Virata Memorial Elementary School (LSVMES). The following schoolyear, Rio Tuba Barangay High School was also established with the assistance of RTNMC.

In 1985, plans were made to privatize LSVMES. Hence, in SY 1986-1987, with 647students, thirty (30) members of the faculty, thirteen (13) classrooms, a library, home economics

building, industrial arts building, kindergarten building with two (2) classrooms and a playground,and a faculty room, LSVMES became a private school under the exclusive supervision of the RioTuba Nickel Foundation, Inc. (RTNFI). On January 15, 1988 , a resolution was unanimously

adopted at a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of RTNFI that the school be named

Leonides S. Virata Memorial School (LSVMS). Government Recognition permits were then

granted for the following courses: Pre-Elementary Course with No. K-013 s. 1989; ElementaryCourse with No. E – 008 s. 1989; and Complete General Secondary Course with No. 003 s. 1989

In its desire to further improve the quality of education of LSVMS, the RTNMCmanagement signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the University of St. La Salle (USLS) in

Bacolod City, placing LSVMS under the supervision of USLS. In 1990, LSVMS became a La

Salle supervised school and was converted into a Catholic Institution in 1993.

In SY 1992- 1993, the science building with three (3) science laboratories and a lecture

room was constructed.

In SY 2005-2006, a two (2) story high school building with four (4) rooms was put up and

in SY 2007-2008, the TLE building with four (4) classrooms followed.

LSVMS which was primarily established for the children of the RTNMC employees has

since then opened up to the community outside the townsite. At present, it has a total enrollment

4



of 1,387 students, 33.09 percent of these are non-company dependents. There are sixty-four

(64) school personnel, twenty-nine (29) classrooms, a prayer room, computer laboratory, science

laboratory, home economics room, library, audio visual room, clinic, faculty room, and offices for the Principal, Assistant Principals, Subject Coordinators, Guidance Services, Registrar, Campus

Ministry, Student Affairs Organization, School Paper, and Budget Officer.

Under the Lasallian Schools Supervision Office (LASSO), LSVMS has undergone major

changes in all areas of school operations: Administration, Faculty, Curriculum, Student Services,Physical Facilities, and Spiritual Formation and continues to be true to its mission of “ giving aquality Christian education to the young.”
