History of School: Name, Place, Category

1. Brief History of the School

It was 1993 when the National Housing Authority granted a 3,560.5 square-meter-piece of land
located at Block 138 Barangay Paliparan III, Dasmariñas City, Cavite to Paliparan Sites and Services High
School which later was given the official name of Dasmariñas National High School-Paliparan Annex
under the leadership of Mr. Rafael D. Reyes. The school was one among a number of satellite schools
founded under his initiative to cater to the educational needs of the relocated families coming from
Pasay Reclamation Area. 

During its first year, the school accommodated 748 students and 19 teachers housed in seven
((7) classrooms. Mrs. Josefina A. Briñas, Head Teacher III served as its first leader. As time went by, the
number of students increased dramatically which reached up to 4800 enrollees from the elementary
schools in  Paliparan II, Pintong Gubat, Paliparan III, and Salawag. This is due to the availability of low-
cost housing within its vicinity. The school faced many adversities from lack of classrooms resulting to
class size that reached way beyond the ideal. To address this problem, new classrooms were added to
accommodate the influx of enrollees, however, these were still not enough. Along with the increase in
enrolment came changes in leadership. Mrs. Bessie Medina, Mrs. Victoria Carungcong, and Mr. Ricarco
Pakinggan, with their different leadership styles all contributed to the improvement of the school. In the
event of the early demise of the last principal, Mr. Ricardo Pakinggan, Dr. Gemma Cortez, then Division
English Supervisor took her seat as OIC principal by virtue of a Special Order issued by the schools
division superintendent. To address the problem in class size, shifting of classes was implemented where
classes were divided into two shifts.  Then came Mrs. Violeta Gonzalo as the new principal. Student
population reached more than 5,200. Although new buildings were constructed comprised of one four-
level, sixteen-classroom building and one three-level, twelve-classroom building, still the problem on
classroom congestion prevailed. Three shifts of classes were then employed. It was the same scenario
when Mrs. Gregoria C. Mendoza arrived. In her second year, Salawag National High School was put up
resulting to a decrease in the school’s enrolment to about 1000 students. But still, 4,300 was a big
number versus limited classrooms fit in a small land area; although a new four-level, eight-classroom
building was constructed. With no available buildable space, the school won’t free itself from this
lingering problem unless new schools nearby will be put up. Despite this, the present administration, of
course, with the contribution of the previous leaders, Paliparan National High School, remains true to its
name. It continuously soars through its various programs, with the help of the numerous open-handed
stakeholders who, even in the face of a pandemic are steadfast in assuring the delivery of a safe and
quality education to the Filipino youth.
