History

The school, originally a high school, was established in 1925 after a group of concerned citizens had a survey conducted regarding the feasibility of opening such a school to serve the children of the locality, who after gradating from primary education, had no opportunities for acquiring secondary education.[1]

A local doctor, Dr. Luis Gorgeous, initiated plans for establishing the school; he later became its first President. Another local resident, Ramon Legaspi, secured the necessary government permits, dr and procured instructional s for the institution.
