President Quirino National High School aims to provide quality education and well-

D. Brief History
President Quirino National High School began its humble beginning due to the closure
of the lone existing private school in the Poblacion President Quirino in 1985. Municipal
Government then, headed by then Mayor Igmedio Barrientos, Sr. initiated the extension of
services of then President Quirino Municipal High School now Mangilala National High School
located at Baranggay Mangilala to Barangay Poblacion.

The school had its humble beginning with only 5 teachers to take care of 305 students
and Mr. Ernesto E. Diaz became the first Principal. The school site was at a makeshift public

market that was divided into three (3) classrooms to accommodate three (3) curriculum levels.
Teachers served two schools- at the mother school in Mangilala and at the newly established
school in the Brgy. Poblacion. There were teachers’ daily schedules done to address the
needs of the two schools.

The school population continued to increase and having seen the absolute need of the
community to have a stable Public Secondary School, then S.B. Member Lucio Castillo
sponsored a Municipal Resolution No. 85-05 establishing a Municipal High School in Poblacion
and the same resolution donating to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports a parcel
land area of 1.5 hectares beside the municipal hall. The passage of the said Municipal
Resolution Resolution Series of 1985 by Sangguniyang Bayan and by virtue of Republic Act
No. 6642 the President Quirino Municipal High School in Poblacion was established, thus the
first school building was constructed through Assemblyman Benjamin Duque who allotted
50,000php from his pork barrel. To address the continuously increasing number of enrollees,
classes were conducted in three (3) venues, at Pres. Quirino Central school classrooms near
the grandstand, at the makeshift public market and at the school site.

In 1991, it was nationalized and then renamed President Quirino National High School.
Noted to be a performing school resulted to the influx of enrolment from nearby municipalities
of Buluan, Datu Paglas and Tacurong. Considering the rapidly increasing population, the
department provided more school buildings, teachers, chairs and other necessities. The local
government and stake holders headed by the PTA continuously demonstrated their support by
providing technical and financial assistance to the school.

Mr. Ernesto E. Diaz retired from service after 21 years of passionately administering
the school and was succeeded by a young Doctor of Philosophy, Pangi P. Balubugan as
school principal on April 12, 2012. During the administration of Dr. Balubugan, he led the
repainting of the school buildings and set policies that would make academic excellence as top
priority.

As to the promotion of Dr. Pangi P. Balubugan as Principal II of Lutayan National High

School on August 05, 2014, Mr. Punga K. Budzal became the principal of the school. He is a
young and vibrant school leader who raises the banner of the school with enthusiasm,
dedication and commitment. He believes that making the teachers happy by providing
professional growth will result to an effective teaching-learning process, thus in three months
of his stay he helped in the reclassification of teachers and making some of them promoted
from teacher I to teacher II or III. He also headed the recreational learning parks such as the
science and mathpark and the English park that would serve as reading centers. He served
the school for 2 fruitful years but expires due to lung cancer. Mrs. Carlina L. Galleno was
appointed then as the OIC from January 2016-June 2016. Mr. Samuel Rey Viloria was then
appointed again as OIC for 6 months for SY 2016-2017. On December 2017 to July 2018, it
was first time that the school was headed by a woman who has a strong personality by the
name of Mrs. Yolanda L. Apolinar. Finally we have a principal who is a man by profession, a
father by vocation a passive leader yet very keen in scrutinizing in every school programs and
