The commencement of the survey in that place took place on 1969. The survey of the Barangay site and the farm lot were done on April 20, 1971.

The school was officially opened on 1977 with two classrooms built in a chopped Anahaw wood, which served as wall and Cogon for the roof. It was started with only 40 students waiting for a teacher from the Department of Education Culture and Sports. To teach them, there were five volunteer-teachers living nearby; Mr. Ramon T.
