SAINT COLUMBAN COLLEGE:
HOME ECONOMICS EVENTS AND IT'S OFFER
Saint Columban College was founded as Saint Columban School in 1957 by Fr. Sean Nolan of the Missionary Society of St. Columban with Sisters Teresita del Niño Jesus Reyes, Isabel of the Angels Narciso, Marie Odille Cayetano, and Anne Bacomo of the Sisters of Saint Paul de Chartres.Under the leadership of Fr. Patrick Campion, S.S.C., Saint Columban School went "full operation" offering only secondary education.
In 1963, Columban started offering undergraduate programs in Liberal Arts, Education, Secretarial, and Commerce. To accommodate the new college students, a new three-story building was built on the main campus.
In 1965, Columban opened the elementary school under Sister Eugenie de Marie, SPC, as principal.Saint Columban School grew into a college and in 1967 it was renamed Saint Columban College.By 1970, the college programs were transferred to the present college campus in Cerilles-Sagun Streets.
In 1978, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pagadian took over the administration and control of the College from the Missionary Society of St. Columban through Bishop Jesus B. Tuquib. Tuquib became Chairman of the Board Trustees. Fr. Jose Maria Luengo was subsequently installed as the first Filipino President of the College.The "SCC Hymn" was later composed by Luengo with Bishop Patricio Getigan and Sister Agnes Lawrence Catalan.
On its 25th Anniversary in 1982, Columban inaugurated a new four-storey building in the college campus which today houses the College of Business Education.The College of Computer Studies opened in 2002. Its Information Technology program is now recognized by the Commission on Higher Education as a Center for Excellence and Development.
