St. Michael Academy is a private, sectarian, non-stock Catholic secondary school in Catarman, Northern Samar, Philippines.

Natividad Pilapil, OP, received another invitation from the Bishop of the Diocese of Calbayog, Most Rev.

The request was to open a school in Catarman that would be of great help to the Church's mission of teaching its doctrines and practicing its morals.

In answer to the request of the Bishop, the prioress general instructed three Sisters assigned in La Milagrosa Academy in Calbayog, Samar to proceed to Catarman and administer the opening of a new school.

And in appreciation for Bishop Miguel Acebedo, the newly established school was named Saint Michael Academy.

In 1948, a parcel of land near the church was leased by the Bishop to the Congregation where the existing location of the school is situated up to this day.

Unfortunately, it was also in this era that the school decided to phase out the college department due to dearth of resources and manpower.

In 1957, 2 wooden structures were constructed: the Sisters’ Convent and a 2 floor school building adjacent to the church.

Due to the implementation of K+12 policy of the Department of Education as a reform in our national educational system starting school year 2012–2013, the need for the construction of another building, now the Mother Francisca Building, to house additional classrooms, the bookstore and supplies store and the transfer of the canteen has been initiated through the untiring leadership of Sr. Meriza Ocampo, OP.

The latest innovations of the school are the integration of Computer-aided Instruction with Internet access in all subject areas from first year to fourth year and the adoption of the revised Basic Education Curriculum with Religion as the core subject being a Catholic and a Dominican – Siena School.
