History
In 1913, Congressman Alejo Labrador initiated the move to put up a vocational school in the province. The provincial government donated an eleven hectare farm where the school stands now, lending it the colloquial name of the Iba Farm School. A first two-story school building was constructed in R.M.M.S.A.T (R.M.P.C) school grounds (Old Site). The first school administrators were Americans. In 1918, the first batch of graduates emerged from the school. School Year 1917-1918 saw the first batch of graduates, all 19 boys were coming from various towns of the province
World War II
On December 8, 1941, Iba Air strip was bombed by Japanese warplanes prompting the school authorities to suspend classes. The students then were allowed to earn their degree despite non-completion of required days of schooling. Those in the lower year were accelerated to the next higher year level. The school was subsequently used as Japanese Headquarters. During the war, S.Y. 1941-1945, there were a total of 50 graduates ; 20 boys and 30 girls.
