Headmaster’s Greeting

All praise and gratitude we offer to God Almighty for the blessings and grace bestowed upon us, allowing us to continue actively participating in the field of education. In this era of globalization and rapid technological advancement, the presence of a website for any organization—including SMA Santo Tarcisius Dumai—is undeniably important. A website serves as a platform to widely disseminate school-related information that stakeholders need to know. Furthermore, it functions as an effective promotional tool for the school.

Through this website, we can share various positive school activities, accompanied by relevant images, so that the wider community can witness the achievements SMA Santo Tarcisius Dumai has attained.

We hope that the launch of this website will meet the public’s need for information about our school and serve as a communication bridge between us and the community. We are aware that there is always room for improvement, and therefore, we sincerely welcome suggestions and constructive feedback from all stakeholders. Together, may we continue building a truly high-quality school that we all cherish.`

SMAS SANTO TARCISIUS's HISTORY

The school was founded in 1997 and initially operated by sharing facilities with SMA Negeri 2 Dumai. Its first temporary location was on Jalan Tanur Kuning, Gang Angsana, in Jaya Mukti, East Dumai, using the building of SD Fillius Dei. On May 2, 1998, the school received its official operating permit through Decree No. 2459/109.5/PR-8/1998, followed by a formal establishment decree dated August 27, 1998, with Decree No. 4563. The school now occupies land owned by the Catholic Diocese of Padang. The total land area is 5,975.25 square meters, with 1,888.25 square meters of building space, 422 square meters of open yard, a 741.75 square meter sports field, and a 362-meter perimeter wall.

Since its founding, SMA Santo Tarcisius has been led by three principals. From 1997 to 1998, it was led by Mr. H. Sihombing, S.E., followed by Mrs. Dra. Maria Agnes Dúa Bewa from 1998 to 2002, and since then by Mrs. Rehna Tarigan, S.Pd. Starting from the 2009/2010 academic year, the school has continuously developed by expanding its teaching staff, enhancing ICT capabilities, improving facilities, integrating ICT-based teaching materials, and establishing a school website.
