A HISTORY OF PERSEVERANCE
San Agustin Institute of Technology (SAIT) was established in 1960 out of funds solicited from abroad by Fr. Manlio, S.J. the Catholic Priest assigned in Valencia, Bukidnon. It started as a general high school with 101 students attending classes in the parish convent.
In 1964, MISEREOR provided assistance to SAIT in terms of equipment and instructional devices and technical services from the German Technicians who assisted the founder-director in developing a Specialized Vocational Course for girls and a Trade Technical course for boys – a Special Automotive Mechanic course.
On March 5, 2008, SAIT was able to launch the Fr. Caroselli, S.J., Development Foundation Inc. This foundation was founded in order to help the poor-but-deserving students; helping them make a difference in their life and the lives of others. Under the present administration, SAIT is made to effect improvements for the development of the students.

Open Letter
a letter from our President
There are few times more exciting to work on a big institution campus than the start of a new academic year. Across the country, thousands of new students descend on institutions of higher learning, each student with their own talents and aspirations, eager to share their understanding of the world, excited to discover more about who they are and what the world has to offer. Those of us working in college admissions offices are grateful and humbled to watch this happen every fall, as bright, able students begin a journey of discovery as strangers and emerge from the experience knowing more about themselves, each other and the possibilities that await after graduation.
