History
Dipolog Parochial School was founded on June 17, 1917, by a number of Jesuit priests.[1]
In 1947, newly-appointed director Rev. Fr. Engracio S. Rivera, created the school motto, "Induamor Arma Lucis", meaning "Let us clad ourselves with the armor of light". College level education was introduced, followed by the establishment of a girls' department. The school was renamed St Vincent's College on February 28, 1950, in honor of St. Vincent Ferrer, the second patron saint of the town.[1]
