Public (GUINAYANGAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL)


Guinayangan NHS was established on July 5, 1968, known as Manlayo-Kalimpak Barrio High School. This was the first Public High School in the municipality which was initiated by Mr. Porfirio V. Aguilar who was then Principal-in-charge of Guinayangan District 1964-1968.

Starting with 83 students coming from the poblacion and from different barrio schools it gradually progressed so that by virtue of Municipal Resolution No. 69 s. 1973 as approved by the Secretary of Education dated August 20, 1974, the nomenclature of Manlayo-Kalimpak was changed to Guinayangan Rural High School and later to Guinayangan Barangay High School. With the nationalization of all Barangay High Schools, it became known as Guinayangan National High School.

The School site was a 5,000 sq. m. land municipal property intended for Market site but was reverted for school use. It is now 7,000 sq. m. in area including the donation of Doña Maria Lagdameo vda. De Eleazar.
Since then, the school has grown overpopulated for lack of classrooms to accommodate more than a thousand students who enrolled taking the opportunity of free secondary education offered by the government.
To date GNHS is moving forward to progress, catering to the educational needs of more students near and far; and which in a span of four decades has produced successful professionals in their own line of endeavour.

The school site was a total transformation. From the original 6-room building and the borrowed Barangay Hall of Calimpak, several buildings were constructed by the Dep Ed through DPWH and those built through the efforts of then incumbent Congressman Wigberto E. Tañada of the 4th District of Quezon, now on its fourth decade of existence, GNHS has 23 rooms with comfort rooms and electrical installations, including two computer rooms having 30-40 personal computer donated by Dep ED, DOST, Cong. Tañada, Congresswoman Yumul-Hermida, Sen. Mar Roxas and DTI.
The kind-hearted Gov. Rafael P. Nantes solved the school problem by adding 6 classrooms with separate toilet for male and female. This will be used this coming 2010.
The principal has bright hopes of also constructing the last phase of the covered court and a two-storey HE building which will house a functional school canteen on the first floor. Fate and nature had not been kind because the first school canteen being constructed was destroyed by Typhoon Milenyo with a labor and materials amounting to over PhP 40, 000.00

With the right vision put into implementation, there is no reason why GNHS could attain the progress it wants to achieve.
