History of NOPSSCEA

Negros Occidental Private Schools Sports Cultural Educational Association, better known as…NOPSSCEA an organization that is at the very start, a carrier of aspirations, a vehicle for dreams to come true…

With a great mission of commissioning itself to establish linkages among private schools and provide programs for development, NOPSSCEA envisions unity and growth among member schools towards excellence and leadership in education, culture and sports spanning from four levels of education, the pre-elementary, elementary, secondary and the collegiate levels. With all the grandeur, with all the contributions NOPSCCEA has, this prestigious organization started out small…

NOPSSCEA was founded by Bro. Rafael S. Donato, FSC, Ed.D. in 1980 through merging two sports organizations, the Negros Occidental Private Schools Athletic Association or the NOPRISAA and the Negros Occidental Collegiate Athletic Association or the NOCAA.

The primary purpose of the merger was to combine all the sports associations of the private schools in Negros Occidental. But it didn’t stop there: later NOPSSCEA felt the need to diversity to a more wholistic approach in its programs including educational and cultural activities. It inculcated the tradition of going beyond its league, for service, for the good of all.

Starting from eight (8) member schools it has geared time and resources towards its vision of excellence. It has facilitated seminars and trainings for teachers and students alike in the fields of sports, education and the arts.

NOPSSCEA has produced highly regarded achievers such as Joel Torre, Kuh Ledesma, Eric Matti, and more.

May it be in Sports, Education and in the Arts, no doubt NOPSSCEA continues to be a great contributor to the success of Negros Occidental.

For twenty-nine years, NOPSSCEA indubitably geared its resources toward the wholistic development of private school administrators, teachers, students and other school personnel.
