History

The students admitted were graduates of elementary grades to pursue high school studies with their preferred vocational courses as part of the curriculum. Parents, community, teachers, and public officials cooperated to make school buildings from light materials.
The staff then was composed of teachers mostly deployed from San Roque High School of Bulusan, Sorsogon and some through direct hiring.

TESDA administration

In 2002, the management of the school was turned over to the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority from the Department of Education to be able to concentrate on the core subjects in vocational-technical aspects, creating tertiary curriculum and abstracting the secondary level.
