PCCR HIGH SCHOOL Brief History

The Philippine College of Criminology High School was formerly known as the Plaridel High School and its offices and school rooms located within the concrete four story building along Sales Street near the corner of Soler Street, Sta Cruz, Manila. It was on 1950 when the late Supreme Court Justice Felix Angelo Bautista founded the Plaridel High School. The founder, a scion of landed prominent residents of Plaridel, Bulacan later on founded a criminology school in the mid-fifties – its now famous Philippine College of Criminology, being the first of pioneering school of police science and law enforcement administration.

It was however in the late fifties when the Plaridel High School was re-named PCCR High School Department. No change in the name of the high school has so far been made the last 50 years, showing the very stable foundation on which the PCCR Criminology College and its High School Department now proudly stand
