\"\"腦瞳肊 (腦瞳肊) was founded on May 10, 1907, as Colegio de San Pablo, by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres, (Mother Ephrem Marie Fieu, Sr. Suzanne du Sacre Coeur Cran, Sr. Agnes de Sainte Anne Couplan, and Sr. Jeanne de St. Louis Bourrelly, Sr. Marie Angeline Acau and Postulant Sr. Ste. Foy de Sacre Coeur Sacramento) who came to Cagayan Valley upon the invitation of Bishop Dennis Dougherty. The school\u2019s name was changed to Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus in 1909, then to Sacred Heart of Jesus Institution (SHOJI) in 1925. The school started in a Spanish Convento, adjoining the Cathedral, but due to increase of enrollment and curricular expansion, the community moved to the Colegio de San Jacinto and its grounds in 1934 (where the University stands today) which the SPC Sisters acquired from the Dominican Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"The school served as military garrison and hospital of the Japanese forces in 1941. The entire complex was razed to the ground during the Liberation in 1945. The school assumed the name St. Paul College of Tuguegarao (SPCT) in 1948 and became the first Teacher-Training Institution in Cagayan Valley. With the opening of college degrees, the school became the first accredited institution in the region by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) in 1961. However, the entire complex was reduced into ashes on January 18, 1965. Despite the challenges, 腦瞳肊 became the first University and Catholic University in the Cagayan Valley region in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
