Jesus Good Shepherd School (JGSS, Good Shepherd or simply Shepherd) was founded in 1965. It is a private Catholic coeducational institution at Palico II, Imus, Cavite in the Philippines. JGSS is the first school in the Philippines founded by the Pastorelle Sisters (S.J.B.P.).

Jesus Good Shepherd School serves primary education (Junior Kinder & Senior Kinder, Grades 1-6), and secondary education (1st-4th year high school).

Brief History

Jesus Good Shepherd School opened in 1965, in response to the clamor of parents to have their children educated in a catholic school, the Pastorelle Sisters inaugurated the first Kindergarten and Grade One classes in Imus in the two rooms in the Bishop's residence. The first regular schoolday was on July 7, 1965 welcoming 132 boys and girls with Sr. Cristina Justo and Sr. Catherine Cleofe as the first kindergarten and grade one teachers, respectively. Since then, a new grade had been added each year. As the grade school population grew, an old garage had to be transformed into another classroom. When the campus at the Bishop's residence became congested, the Pastorelle Sisters purchased a large tract of land along Palico, Imus and in 1969, the new school building was inagurated. Over the years, from a secluded hall and garage, Jesus Good Shepherd School grew into a progressive catholic school for boys and girls.
