History of Sta. Cruz Elementary School

Sta. Cruz Elementary School started in 1932 as a sister school to Caridad Elementary School housed in a rented building.  The first classes were Grade l and Grade ll under Miss Remedios S. Rivero and Miss Estebana S. Valencia.  In early 1933, Apolonio "Oniong" Pisig and Floro C. Reyes drafted a resolution written in Tagalog and in English to petition the government to build a primary school in Sta. Cruz.  Eling Reyes did most of collecting signatures for the petition, while Pablo Serafino presented the resolution to the Municipal Council.  In a public meeting in 1933, Hon. Pedro Espiritu was the guest speaker and Floro Reyes had a chance to bring to the governor's attention the case of the Primary School for Sta. Cruz.  And in less than a year later the construction of the school started.



In the year 1935, a lot with an area of 1,900 square meters was acquired through the efforts of Mr. Apolonio Pisig.  Then, a Gabaldon building was constructed in the same year which was finished in April 1935.  In June 1935, the classes from Grade 1 to Grade 1V was opened.

"Estanzuela" was the former name of Sta. Cruz when it was just a barrio of Caridad.  It was later named as Sta. Cruz when it was just a barrio of Caridad.  It was later named as Sta. Cruz when it became a district of Cavite City.  The name Sta. Cruz was originated from a cross found by a fisherman in a part of Canacao Bay near the vicinity.  Since then, the natives of the place believed that because of this cross all of them are always safe even in time of disasters.  The residents of the district of Sta. Cruz start to celebrate its Mayflower festival in the whole month of May and fiesta celebration on the 30th day of May yearly wherein the venue is in Sta. Cruz Elementary School always.
