kasaysayan ng ating paaralan.

Ang Benjamin Velasco Bautista Sr. National High School dating (Benjamin V. Bautista Special
High School) ay nabuo sa pamamagitan ng pagsisikap at pagpupunyagi ni dating kapitan at ngayon ay Kag.
Joseph L. Contigo sa tulong ng konseho ng Brgy. Mana. Nakipag-ugnayan siya kay Gng. Erma P. Sulpot,
ang Punongguro ng paaralan at sa tulong na rin ni Gng. Veronica Tubat Alvarez, ang reteradong Punong
Guro ng Basiawan National High School na naging bahagi ng paaralan noon.

Benjamin Velasco Bautista Sr. National High School formerly known as Benjamin V. Bautista
Special High School was created through hardwork and determination of recent barangay captain
Joseph L. Contigo, with the help of the Barangay Mana Council. Also, the council was collaborated to
the former principal of BVBSNHS Erma P. Sulpot and retired principal of Basiawan National High
School who became part of the school before.

Ang palengke ng isda ay naging gusali na nagsisilbing lugar ng kaalaman.
