Bicutan Parochial School, is a school of the Parish of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.  It is therefore a Catholic, Filipino and a parochial school situated in Lower Bicutan, Taguig City serving Filipino students coming mostly from the different barangays in Lower Bicutan and neighboring residential subdivisions. It is a Catholicschool for it shares the task of spreading the Gospel and witnessing to Christ’s presence in the world.

Before, what was located in this major route from Pateros to Bagumbayan was a vacant lot of about 1,642 sq. meters over looking the placid Laguna Lake. In view of the following desire, the said lot which was formerly a public park, erected a new parish church beside it, was a building serving the community’s cursillo house.

Its primary objective was to become a venue for carrying public welfare oriented projects and to better serve the spiritual and moral upliftment of the community.

Later on in the year of 1988, feeling on the urgent need for educational program, the Parish of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary committed herself in putting up a school which will become a venue in the Christian formation and development of the total person, thus making him fully human, fully Christian, and fully Filipino citizen as he prepares for a life of service to his family, community and country.

And on February 22, 1988, the cursillo house of the parish was converted into a school building with five classroom accommodating the first 150 students, with 7 faculty members, 2 office workers, a principal and with the parish priest then as the school director.
