The said burning of the school building did not affect the enrollment of the school years that followed. Despite the lack of facilities that the school had in her operation to give good services to students, the parents did not lose confidence in the teachers of the school. as a result, enrollment during the succeeding years increased.

 

In spite of the crisis being experienced, it was very evident that there was unity of purpose and willingness to sacrifice and help in the attainment of the objective of bringing about a place conducive enough for learning by the La Salette Missionaries, Administration, Faculty members, Staff and Parents of La Salette of Quezon. This was proven by the fact that in June 1986 – as the school year started, the rooms of a big school building enough not yet fully completed, were already for use by the incoming students of the school year.

 

It was in 1990 when there was shuffle among the principals of the La Salette Schools System.  Mr. Antonio A. Gonzaga was assigned  as the principal.  He stayed for almost 6 years from the year 1990-1995 under the supervision of different directors - Rev. Frs. Manuel dela Cruz, MS, Wilfredo Iminga, MS and Emery Cadiz.

 

During SY 19956-1996, Mrs. Angeles Villanueva became acting principal under Rev. Fr. Gregorio Honorio, Jr., MS as the Director.

 

A new principal was appointed in 1996 in the person of Mr. Antonio A. Cadorna, Sr.  From 1996 hence, he continues to be the principal under the supervision of diferent directors:  Rev. Frs.  Gregorio Honorio, MS, Eulalio Culang, MS and Marcelino Mesa, MS.  Under the helm of Fr. Culang, MS, the challenge of the parents was accepted to have a kindergarten established.

 
 

Soon an elementary department was undertaken.  Grades 1 and 2 were opened during SY 2000-2001.  The dream to have Grades 3 to 6 became a reality in 2001.

 

Since 1960, there has been 39 High School and 2 Elementary graduation ceremonies.  Some have become teachers, school administrators, pilots, accountants, pharmacists, artists, politicians, drivers, architects and plain housewives.  Some have gone abroad to seek greener pastures.  A few answered God's calling as religious nuns and priests.

 

The current school director for SY 2006-2007 is Fr. Francis Tamani, MS
