ISNHS IS MY SCHOOL

 Disclaimer: This is only my perspective on how the ISNHS was founded, and also my perspective as a documenter. 

(honestly speaking, I was shaking when I was taking this 1st picture TwT) 

 Ilocos Sur National High School have been my school since I’ve graduated from elementary. From what I know so far about this school is that this school is founded in 1902 and it was called Vigan Normal School back then. In 1902, the population of this school is 13, with only 10 males and 3 females. By that time the school separated the classes between male and female, because of the strictness of the school. Co-education was introduced when the student attendance dwindled. No requirements were obligatory upon those who wished-for to enroll before a system grading classifications was introduced in 1904.

In the course of time, an expanding enrollment spurred the development of a new building, which today houses the Dońa Gregoria Rivera Memorial Library. The first public high school in Ilocos Sur, the Vigan High School, was situated in the structure, which was completed and opened on February 22, 1905. But in 1908, it took six years to start a second year class. 

In 1912, twelve students went on to become the school's first graduates.

More space was required because of the ongoing population growth. Eight hectares of property on Vigan's western edge were purchased by the provincial government in the late 1920s. The structure that is currently Burgos East Elementary School was used as an annex for high school students until the early 1960s, when the school finally acquired a permanent home here. In 1932, the name Vigan High School was changed to Ilocos Sur High School. 

The school area was expanded in 1953 as a result of the purchase of an extra property. A brand-new building known as the National Heroes Memorial Building was erected in 1958. This was made possible by the pork barrel of the esteemed former congressman Floro Crisologo, who was a graduate of the institution.

 

The Ilocos Sur National High School is the current name of the institution. RA 3974, written in 1964 by the late Congressman Floro Crisologo, elevated the school to a national institution. On January 17, 1967, while Mr. Macario Festejo was the principal, the Congressman received a plaque in appreciation of his efforts to his Alma mater.

From the school's founding for around 25 years, it has received tax funding. The Schurman Commission, the first commission in Philippine history, suggested free education at that time. When the Japanese invaded the Philippines at the start of World War II in 1941 and subsequently took control of Ilocos Sur on December 10, the school was placed on suspension. These were abandoned in December 1942, but they were restarted in June 1943. In addition to being promoted to the following year, students in lower grades were also released from their need to make up the three months of study they had lost due to the conflict. In 1946, the first class of post-war high school graduates took their diplomas.
