Mambugan National High School: History

PLB 1 Building

Mambugan National High School formerly named Antipolo National High School – Mambugan Extension, was established when the former Mayor Angelito C. Gatlabayan and the City Council passed the Resolution # 04 -99.

June 1999 was the time when the school started. Mambugan Elementary School lends three (3) rooms which housed the administration building and two classrooms with a population of 240 students and 5 faculty members. Ms. Marilyn D. Zapanta was the school head, Mrs. Corazon S. Oliva (Math), Ms. May Arcenio (English), Ms. Margaret V. Bajan (TLE), Mrs. Gemma V. Cruz (Science & Values-Guidance Counselor) and Mr. Darwin D. Jaradal (AP/Filipino) as the pioneer faculty members.

The first official building of Mambugan National High School (ACG Bldg) was built last 2003 with four (4) rooms in its own site located at Ruhat Hills, Siruna Village with a total land area of 3,200 m2. The ACG Bldg. was used by the second batch of students during their fourth year. The first graduation of Mambugan National High School on the new site last April 2004 with 215 graduates.

School Ground

The land area of the school became bigger with the initiative of the local government. In the year 2006, another building or the Teachers Lounge was built which was used as the Computer Room and Library. Several buildings were then constructed after that as follows:

Today, MNHS has 27 classrooms, Computer Lab/Library, Clinic, Science Lab, TLE Room, Administration Bldg (Principal, Chairman and Accounting Office), a covered court and stage.

Waiting Area

Even though the population increases with lesser rooms to be occupied by the students, the faculty members did their best in teaching these students. That is why the quality of education is not sacrificed. With 119 teaching force, a principal and two accounting staff, the school functions well in which our school ranks 5th in the NAT for two consecutive years.

In the succeeding years of the school, the population gradually increased as follows:
