HISTORY OF BOBONAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Bobonan National High School was founded in August 10, 1966. A prominent son of barangay Bobonan, Don Gerardo Buada, was inspired to establish the first barangay secondary school in Pozorrubio at the time when the barangay high school movement was spreading in the country due to the initiative of Dr. Pedro Orata, an educator from Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, who later came to be known as the Father of Barangay High Schools”.
At the grounds of Bobonan Central School, Bobonan Community High School was
born. It started with two curriculum years in School Year 1966-1967 with Mr.
Celestino Desamito, the principal of the elementary school as assistant
principal of the high school, two teachers and two part time teachers who were
elementary school teachers of the Bobonan Central School.
In September 7, 1987, the school became nationalized through
Executive Order 189 signed by President Corazon C. Aquino. However, Mrs.
Consuelo Carillo, who was designated teacher in charge and one of the
pioneering teachers, resigned as teacher in charge of the school due to poor
health in September 3, 1990. In her place, a 29-year old teacher in this school
accepted the challenge of being the school administrator. Mr. Florencio B.
Quezon soon became a full pledge Principal I in 1994. Later, the young
principal finished his doctorate while enabling the school`s growth under his
administration. From having only eight teachers, the faculty increased to 13
teachers and an Annex was established in Nama to cater to the educational needs
of students residing in that barangay.
The Bobonan National High School Annex in Nama rose to become
the Nama National High School today. Dr. Quezon relentlessly proceeded to mark
further changes. He improved the classrooms, built the school canteen, study
shed, conference room, and renovated the principal`s office.

Considered the biggest barangay high school in Pozorrubio in terms of
enrollment, the students of Bobonan National High School come from barangays
Bobonan, Laoac, Batakil, Inoman, Palacpalac, Palguyod, Rosario in Pozorrubio,
and all the way from Paldit, Asan Sur, Artacho in Sison, Pangasinan.
Bobonan NHS today continues to broaden its reach to fulfill
dreams, inspires young people, and carries out its vision and mission with
zest.
