History

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.^[2]
