Pateros Catholic School (abbreviation: PCS) is the first non-stock, non-profit co-educational sectarian school established in Pateros, Metro Manila,then, a part of Rizal Province. It was founded on June 1, 1951  by  secondary school by then Reverend  Monsignor Felix G. Sicat. Their present school Director is Rev. Fr. Roy M. Rosales by then before the Licentiate of Sacred Theology (S.T.L) of the Immaculate Conception Cathedral of Pasig, and he was succeeded by Very Rev. Fr. Orlando 'Orly' B. Cantillon, Vicar General of the Diocese of Pasig as Rector and Parish Priest of the Cathedral.

History
Initially, the name Pateros Catholic High School was adopted beacause it offered mainly secondary courses with vocational subjects. In accordance with Philippine laws, the school was incorporated with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 1954 with Registry Number 9011. The school was officially recognized as a learning institution with the issuance of Order No. 180 of Republic Act No. 24 on June 1 1955.

The opening of the Grade School Department in 1961 paved the way for the school's name to PATEROS CATHOLIC SCHOOL through the initiative of Mrs. Remedios Licsi- Cruz, who was the High School Principal of that time. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 16 of the Corporation Code of the Philippines, Batas Pambansa Bilang 68, the Articles of Incorporation were amended and a new set of by-laws was adopted on September 4, 1980 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 21, 1983. The transcript of these amended articles and new by-laws of Incorporation was issued on April 25 1983. Pateros Catholic School, better known as PCS, has been under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocesan of Manila. It remains a member of the Manila Archdiocesan and Parochial Schools Association (MAPSA) and the Catholic Education Association of the Philippines (CEAP). Presently, the institution operates under the newly created Diocese of Pasig and is consequently an active member of Pasig Diocesan Shools System (PaDSS).

Pateros Catholic School presently runs under the Leadership of the First Bishop of the Diocese of Pasig, His Excellency, Most Reverend Francisco C. San Diego, D.D. The newly created Diocese of Pasig marks its formal organizational character with the official installation of Bishop San Diego on August 21, 2003 at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, Plaza Rizal, Barangay Malinao, Pasig City. The parishes of Taguig, Pateros, and Pasig constitute the organizational memberships of the new diocese. All major policies and decisions governing the institution are coursed through the Board of Trustees of the School.

Presently, Rev. Fr. Roy M.Rosales serves both as School Director and as Parish Priest of San Roque Parish. He is the chief executive officer of the entire educational institution and is delegated with the administrative operation of the school. With him is the Director’s Council who represents the key administrators and decision-makers of the school. Through proper sectoral consultation, the Council exercises official jurisdiction over important policy pronouncements on vital issues affecting the institution. Over the years, Pateros Catholic School has subscribed to the ideals and charisms set by the two patron saints, namely, San Roque and Sta. Marta. Genuine humility, generosity and determination to help others characterized their way of life. Since its establishment in 1951, PCS has served the local church and the community of Pateros and has remained faithful to its commitment to serve the educational needs of learners from the areas of Pateros, Pasig, Taguig and Makati City.
