St. Mary’s College of Borongan (formerly St. Joseph's College) is a private, Catholic school handled by the
Religious of the Virgin Mary (RVM) in Eastern Samar. It was established in 1946 as
St. Joseph's High School under the bishop of Calbayog and the parish priest of Borongan. The next year, the management was turned over to the RVM sisters. In 1952, the school obtained its college status, with courses offered in the Arts and Teacher Education. In 2001,
St. Joseph's College was renamed into St. Mary's College accompanied by a ceremony of installing a brass mural of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the school's facade.
This school currently provides elementary, high school, and college programs. Available four-year undergraduate courses are in
Communication, Social Science, Elementary and Secondary Education, Business Administration, and
Information Technology. SMC Borongan also has a Senior High School department offering
