Established in 1976 as the Philippine College of Technological Resources
(PCTR), the school was founded by the educator Jose C. Olivares, who
also served as the school’s first president. When actual operations
began on 14 February 1978, it had facilities and amenities for secondary
school and college. A year later, the administration of the school was
passed on to Emmanuel J. Olivares.
The decade of the 1980’s ushered in a demand for skilled labor in the
Philippines and abroad. Recognizing an opportunity to improve the
options of financially-strapped Filipino youth for employment and
financial security, the college introduced technical-vocational courses.
In 1983, Agnes O. Luciano assumed the presidency. She continued to work
for the continuous development and expansion of the college. A variety
of short courses were also created for the benefit of out-of-school
youth and enterprising homemakers through the assistance of the Rotary
Club of Valenzuela.
In 1986, PCTR offered pre-school (Nursery, Junior and Senior
Kindergarten), and primary school education on campus. By the end of the
decade, the enrollment for the primary and secondary schools expanded
dramatically, and school administrators had to meet the challenge of
providing quality education up to the tertiary level.
By 1992, courses in Information Technology were offered, and in 1994,
the college introduced a new course in Hotel & Restaurant Management. It
was also during this period that the school expanded its facilities for
laboratories, lecture rooms and libraries.
By the mid-1990’s, an opportunity for PCTR to link with St. Louis
University (SLU) and its affiliated schools presented itself after a
consultation with the Belgian Roman Catholic missionary order
Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae, the schools’ administrators. The
order, better known as the CICM Missionaries, have a proven track record
since the 19th century in providing its schools with exceptional
training and support in faculty development, graduate studies and
Christian formation.
In 1997, PCTR was admitted as an affiliate school of the St. Louis
Educational System, under the SLU Superintendent of Schools. (At
present, however, the Office of the Superintendent of Schools is vacant
and inactive.) Within the year, PCTR formally changed its name to St.
Louis College Valenzuela.
In 2002, Raymond O. Luciano assumed the presidency of St. Louis College
Valenzuela with the death of Agnes O. Luciano. Since then, a continuing
program of expansion and modernization has seen the addition of a new
site for a pre-school and elementary school along Barangay Ugong in
Valenzuela City, and the installation of a new fire alarm system,
closed-circuit security cameras, emergency lighting and a Wi-Fi system
inside the main campus. The modernization program has also covered the
school’s science laboratories, library and audio-visual facilities.
