HISTORY
of humble beginnings, in 1945 Apelo Cruz Elementary School was established as an annex of Jose Rizal Elementary School. It occupied the Lacson House (old Majestic theater) in Apelo Cruz St., the old site of Philtranco station along EDSA, Pasay City. It became an independent school in 1958 with Mrs. Felicidad C. Tenorio as its first principal.
In 1975, the Lacson House was sold and through the strength of leadership of Mrs. Herminia S. Ocampo and with the help of the Assistant Director Candelario Patinio of the Bureau of Public Works. Apelo Cruz Elementary was transferred to its present location here at E. Rodriguez St., Malibay, Pasay City last 29th of January. It continued to grow and cater to a clientele of diverse and mix socio-economic, political, psychological, physical, and cultural background. It sailed smoothly through the years under the stewardship of principals who held the helm of the different periods of history.
At present, the new Apelo Cruz Elem School stretches its two strong buildings along Tripa de Gallina River. It is considered as deprived, depressed and underpriveledged (DDU) among all schools in Pasay.
