== HISTORY==
It is an experience heavily laden with sacrifices of the great pioneers and dedicated Centro Catolico of Panglao in 1947-1949. San Agustin Academy or SAGA was founded in July, 1949 by Rev. Fr. Pedro Torrefranca, due to the desire to have a Catholic high school in Panglao. The year of decision to have a school was in 1948. In order that the whole town be involved in this great project, with the desire and approval of the Parish Priest, all prominent men and women of the town, the municipal officials headed by the loving Mayor Teofilo Arcay, teachers headed by Mr. Severino Fucanan were called for a joint general meeting with the Catholic Action Members. The meeting was presided by the Parish Priest with the same proposition that a Catholic high school in town would be opened. There was deliberation on the Pros and Cons. The biggest problem encountered was about finance. So, Mr. Rogelio A. Parmisano as President of the Panglao Centro Catolico proposed that all proceeds of the yearly "Pinaskohan" from every barrio must go to school. The problem of money was solved. That was October, 1948. By January, 1949, the work was begun: repairing and remodeling of the convent for classrooms, making chairs for the students, tables for the teachers and buying textbooks, library books and laboratory equipment, etc. The next problem was the petition for a permit to the Bureau of Private Schools to open first and second year levels. To expedite its approval, the group affiliated with the Bohol Catholic Schools Association.

But fate in a way of ticking the hopeless has allowed the unexpected to happen. A new day for the people has dawned. Like the morning summer sun that drives the clouds awy, the new and aggressive leadership provided by the benevolent Parish Priest of the town, [[Rev. Fr. Pedro Torrefranca]], blazed the trail to advancement. He summoned the Centro Catolico, thru its President to call for a special meeting to resolve once and for all the proposition to open a Catholic high school for the youth of the town.

The Part 1 of the opening of the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee was on August 15, in which it was started with a Caravan at 2:00 pm all over Panglao by all SAGA Alumni.

On August 29, the continuation of the celebration was mobilized. The current San Agustin Academy Faculty, Staff and Students made the decorations and arrangements. They devised an exhibit which has lot of pictures of the Alumni with their good memories and experiences being a part of SAGA. A big white board was placed for the signatures of every alumni who had witnessed and experienced the exhibit. Then, a program was started. Presentations of every batch or every clusters were shown. In the evening, the SAGA King and Queen of Diamond Jubilee 2009 was held.

They were united again. They had seen their classmates, schoolmates, batch mates and friends whom they didn't seen for a long time. It was a happy, meaningful and unforgettable experience in their lives.
