Brief History
The Jesus Good Shepherd School came about in response to the clamor of local parents to have their children educated in a catholic school. The Pastorelle Sisters inaugurated the first Kindergarten and Grade One with classes in two rooms of the Bishop's residence in Imus. The first regular school day on July 7, 1965, welcomed 132 boys and girls with Sr. Cristina Justo and Sr. Catherine Cleofe as the first kindergarten and grade one teachers, respectively. Thereafter, a new grade level had been added each year.
As the school population grew, an old garage and more rooms had to be transformed into more classrooms, congesting the Bishop's residence. The Pastorelle Sisters eventually purchased a large tract of land in Barangay Palico, Imus, and in 1969, the new school building and campus were inaugurated. From its humble beginning of secluded halls and garage, Jesus Good Shepherd School has grown into a progressive catholic school for boys and girls.
On July 7, 2012 they started the 3 year preparation for the golden jubilee in 2015,also on July 7 the jubilee logo is revealed.
Recently, Jesus Good Shepherd School was handled by a new management on January 2013. It was now managed by Philippine Harvard University, a Philippine franchise of the Harvard Network from the US, and the University Schools of Bacoor, hailing from the University Schools Inc multinational company.
