History background….. 

Before the opening of Sta. Cruz Elementary School children attended their classes at the nearby barangay, Sto. Domingo Elementary School. After a few years HON. MARIANO SERMONA together with parents, agreed to contribute an amount of P 8.00 for every household for the purchase of a certain portion of land, but because of lack of funds, the owner of the nearby place donated a portion of lot to expand the area for the construction of BAHAY KUBO where the children were taught.

 In 1967, road linking Barangay Sta. Cruz to

the Poblacion was constructed, Sta. Cruz Elementary School came into being with Mrs. Ester Occiano as the first teacher. The school started with a Bahay Kubo as classroom. This was facilitated by the late Public Schools District Supervisor Maximina Q. Plotado and the late Barangay Captain Mariano Sermona. The Bahay Kubo Classroom was destroyed by Typhoon Sening in 1973 which was later replaced by a two-room Pre-fab classroom.

 In 1973, Bayanihan was conducted, so 33 pupils were housed under the lone Teacher Mrs. Ester Occiano and Mr. Feliciano Aguado was

the first PTA President. As the population boomed the improvement of the schools was developed, now Sta. Cruz Elementary School has already Bayanihan Building with three classrooms, Standard Building with one room, Intervida Building with one classroom and Evacuation Building was also erected in the school and used as an office and reading center and Bagong Lipunan Building with three classrooms.
