Historical Background
In 1957, the settlers of EDCOR requested the late Archbishop Gerard Mongeau, OMI, DD, (b. February 4, 1900-d. October 31, 1994) to establish a school for their children. The Bishop's response was to let the people establish the building then he will provide the administrators. In answer to the request, the construction of wooden materials was offered by the farm administrator retired Major Dalmacio Tecson. Labor was free. The Army Chaplain, Fr. Manuel Vacante supervised the construction. It was a Seven (7) room building with one room for the Laboratory, one room for the Library and one room for offices and faculty. The building was completed on time for the school year 1958-1959 offering courses for first and second year high school.
The administration of the school was offered to the Oblates of Notre Dame (OND sister), a community of women organized on 1956 in Cotabato City. The ONDs accepted the offer because the school was a good venue for Catechism. The fourth year students will be trained to be catechists to the public elementary pupils. Notre Dame of Genio Edcor is a small school located in a town where there is no other public secondary school existing during that time and poverty is keenly felt by the people. In such a given context the school ministry strives to bring hope and joy to the students and the community it serves.
It will be interesting to know what the situation was, when EDCOR was first visited on May 14, 1958 by Fr. George Dion, OMI with Sister Estrella Adre, Juliana del Castillo and Lina Carbonell.Sr. Estrella entered in the codex the following:
On May 26, 1958, Fr. George Dion accompanied the first ONDs who were assigned to start the new Notre Dame School in Alamada: Miss Ma. Estrella Adre, Soledad Amigable, Mercedes Favor, Prexedes Biclar. School equipment, supplies and other miscellaneous things were brought to the new school from Cotabato City. n June 10, 1958, it was noted that the enrollment was increasing and hence they saw the need for more teachers.
NDGE is located in EDCOR which is an acronym for Economic Development Corporation. This was the "land for the landless" program by the late President Ramon Magsaysay. It was intended for HUKS- a popular group of dissidents in the country so that they could acquire land to cultivate. Resolution No. 376 dated March 10, 1953 gave birth to this project and the manager of the Project EDCOR was retired Major Dalmacio Tecson.
When the management of the place was turned over to the civil government, the name of the place was changed to ALAMADA, in memory and honor of the great and powerful late Datu Alamada who fought against foreign opposition and tyrannies. Kitacubong was the heart of his kingdom. In 1968 Resolution No. 38 which is the renaming of the municipality to Alamada, separate and distinct form the municipality of Libungan, Cotabato. Meanwhile, the school has retained its name Notre Dame of Genio Edcor.
As the years went by more students enrolled at NDGEI and hence an annex building with four rooms was added. The flooring was cemented. The last room was raised by one meter to serve as stage for PTA meetings and for school programs.
