[EduCativ]

In June 1933, Holy Angel Academy (HAA) opened its doors to a modest group of 78 high school students in the Holy Rosary Parish Convent. It was initiated through the joint efforts of the late Don Juan D. Nepomuceno, a known philanthropist/prominent businessman, and Fr. Pedro P. Santos, then parish priest of the town of Angeles and later Archbishop of Nueva Caceres. Its primary purpose was to offer Catholic education at the secondary level, which was the community's felt need at that time. It was organized as a non-stock, non-profit corporation oriented towards service to the community.
In 1960, the elementary department was opened. More collegiate courses were also offered like the 1-year and 2-year Secretarial courses in 1961 and the two-year pre-engineering course in 1962. In the ensuing years, the latter was expanded to the complete programs Civil Engineering (August 13, 1968), Electrical Engineering (September 11, 1969), Mechanical Engineering (September 11, 1969), and Management and Industrial Engineering (March 17, 1986). The University celebrated its 80th year of founding with the conferment of an honorary doctorate to Amando Maglalang Tetangco, Jr., Governor of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas and Chairman of the Monetary Board on March 7, 2014. It also inaugurated the Peter G. Nepomuceno Center of Professional Development, the home of the College of Business and Accountancy and the Professional Schools. On March 19, 2015, the University formally opened the S. Josefina G. Nepomuceno Formation Center, which houses the Institute of Christian Formation and Social Integration and retreat and formation facilities.

Nepomuceno, Jr. served as the Acting President upon Dr. Villanueva's resignation in June 2014.

One of the objectives of the University's Guidance Program is to help students develop self-awareness.
