Aware of the significance of enrollment in the management of a school, the writer proposed to study and analyze the enrollment of La Salette College, Santiago, Isabela from 1972 to 1978 with the aim of projecting the school population and the number of classrooms that will be needed in the next five years. This study used the historical (documentary) analytical method of research. Data were gathered from past records of enrollment of the first and second semesters of the different courses included in the study from 1972-1978. The analysis of the enrollment trends were based on the enrollment data and the enrollment retention rates. The alpha and the beta retention rates and the moving averages were used to determine the enrollment projection. To project the number of classrooms that will be needed in the next five years, the La Salette College curriculum for all courses, the enrollment projection data and the value of the average class size derived from historical data were used. The findings show that: 1) The courses with big enrollment will tend to increase some more in the next five years and courses with small enrollment will also increase but not as much as the courses with big enrollment 2) The retention rate in the senior year was high and that enrollment in the first semester was higher than the enrollment in the second semester. 3) As the enrollment increases, there will be a need to increase the number of classroom so as to accommodate the college population.
