Holy Rosary Academy was founded on October 28, 1950. It was originally named Lubao Central High School whose administration lay on the hands of prominent persons of the town under the direction of Rev. Fr. Diosdado G. Victorio. It was first housed at the spacious residence of Miss Felicidad B. Manuel, an energetic and assiduous person to whom the foundation of the school was attributed. She was joined by Dr. Macario Datu, Mr. Mariano Sagad and Miss Adelaida Velasco as the co-founders. Later, to boost the morale of the original founders, Dr. Eliodore Congco, Mrs, Juanita A. Vitug, Dr. Efren Baltazar and Mr. Rafael Razon joined the force who served as pillars of the foundation.
