Camarines Sur National High School: A Century Old Educational Institutional

On January 21, 1901 the Philippine Commission under the American Rule enacted Act No. 74, creating
the Department of Public Instruction in the Philippine territory. In the later part of the same year some
Americans teachers known as “THOMASITES,” arrived in Ambos Camarines to educate the Bikolano
settlers. March 7, 1902 the Philippine Commission passed Act No.373, establishing secondary school
system, partly funded by provincial governments.

July 15, 1902 a provincial high school was opened in one of the primary school buildings in the
municipality of Nueva Caceres. Nueva Caceres, now Naga City was then the provincial capital of Ambos
Camarines. The school was headed by Frank Crone, Principal and Minerva Udell, the assistant. The
institution started with 70 students and 4 American mentors. The attendance increased steadily, and by
the end of the first term there were 200 students. The enrollee’s age requirement was 14-years old. Few
weeks later, the school was transferred to a renovated building rented by the provincial government
somewhere in Mabini Street of Barangay Sn. Francisco.

In 1915, the school known as Camarines High School was transferred to Gabaldon Buildings at Via Gainza
Street now Peñafrancia Avenue, its present location. The site was donated to the provincial government
for educational purposes.

In 1943 to 1945, during the Japanese occupation, the school was temporarily closed. The Gabaldon, now
called main building served as garrison for Japanese soldiers under a certain colonel Isabashi. After the
war, the school was re-opened. The main building though dilapidated was used for classroom
instructions until it was declared unsafe for occupancy in 1949. Classes from Gabaldon main building,
were transferred to the grandstand inside the athletic ground.

In 1950, former City Mayor Leon SA. Aureus, initiated the organization of Camarines Sur High School
Alumni Association.

In 1951, former Provincial Governor Juan F. Trivino with Batch 1933, raised funds for the construction of
additional school buildings. The CSHS then was operating through provincial government funds and
student’s fees. In 1968, to address the needs of working students, night class was opened until 1983.

June 29, 1969 former President Ferdinand E. Marcos approved Republic Act 5529, converting the
institution into CAMARINES SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL. This was realized through the effort of Pedro
O. Bornas, the school principal from 1961 to 1977, former Congressman Ramon H. Felipe, Pura Luisa V.
Magtuto, and Estela D. Anciano, former President and Liaison Office of the faculty club respectively. The
conversion did not include a transfer of title of lot occupied by the school. In 1971, Camarines Sur
Community College offering 2-year post secondary education was established.

In 1977 to 1992, Pura Luisa V. Magtuto became the principal. During her term more school buildings and
facilities were constructed including the Student Pavilion in 1978. In 1985, Balik Adal Project, a special
community outreach program, was launched jointly with the Naga City Government and the Panglunsod
na Katipunan ng mga Barangay sa Naga and in 1991, the Engineering and Science Education Program was
launched under an enriched curriculum in English, Science and Technology and Mathematics. Rosa B.
Perez succeeded in 1992 as principal for a short term due to compulsory retirement.

1994 to 2002 Elizabeth P. Palo, Ed. D. was the School Head. In her watch, Andaya Building in 1998 and
Roco Building in 2001 were constructed while the Special Education Program in 1999 and Special
Program in the Arts in 2000 were offered. In 2001, the school has represented Luzon to Project Sterling
Program, a peer accreditation of public secondary schools, sponsored by the Department of Education,
Philippine Association of Secondary School Administrators, and the University of Asia and the Pacific and
was the accredited level 1 in 2003.

December 15, 2002 the CSNHS has successfully celebrated its Centennial Foundation Anniversary. Its
historical record was rectified, changing its foundation date from 1904 to July 15, 1902 based from the
research conducted by Prof. Danilo Gerona and the Centennial Research Team composed of Salve C.
Lapuz, former Department Head of Araling Panlipunan and Values Education Department, Yolanda S.
Castor former EMIS Coordinator and Jarme D. Taumatorgo former president of CSNHS Faculty and
Employees Association, Executive Committee Chairman of the Centennial Anniversary Celebration, and
Department Head of Araling Panlipunan.

November 2002, Nely Abad assumed as Principal. In her term night classes for working students was
reopened and new programs were offered, namely: Dep.Ed. Special Program in Sports, Family Farm
Curriculum, Strengthened Technical-Vocational Education Program, Career Pathway-Technology and
Livelihood Education and Foreign Language – Spanish. She also introduced different curricular
innovations, such as enrichment subjects for fast learner and remediation to special challenged students.
The School also received the hall of fame award as national best Brigada Eskwela implementer.

June 2014, Sulpicio Alferez III assumed the position as Officer-in-Charge after the retirement of Nely
Abad and short OIC status of Zosita Ces and Dante Santelices. August 2014, the Provincial Government of
Camarines Sur issued an order to immediately vacate the athletic grounds with the concurrence of the
Secretary of Education Bro. Armin Luistro. The property was venue to various sports, civic and academic
activities of CSNHS for the past decades. References: Annual Reports 1901-1905, Bureau of Public
