Taggat Sur Elementary School
Education is an instruction or training by which a person learns to develop and use his/her mental, moral and physical powers which serve as his/her weapon to strive in his/her endeavor in this word. In this connection, formal education is said to be the best legacy apparent could bestow to their children.
In the year 1948, Grade I and Grade II classes were opened under the auspices of the first teacher Mrs. Pacita C. Espejo. The two classes temporarily occupied the ground floor of a big wooden house of a couple named Mr. Reynaldo Barrios and Mrs. Crisencia Cadaoas Barrios. The house was located along the National Road just in front of the present site of Taggat Elementary School.
There was no public land which could be used where to put up the a school building, the reason why the barrio folks thru the leadership of the late Juan Leano (ex-vice mayor and district councilman) requested Mr. Hilario Agarpao and Mrs. Isabel Antonio Agarpao together with Mr. Primitivo Calumpit and Mrs. Nena Bitanga Calumpit to donate the parcel of their residential lot. The two couples voluntarily donated the School lot, hence in November 18, 1948 Taggat Primary School was put up. As time went by, enrolment increased yearly, so the school became Taggat Community School headed by the first Teacher-In-Charge, a certain Mr. Felix Guillermo and the school lot became wider thru the generosity of a barangay folk donor, Mr. Filamor Yadao Sr. The school was chaged to Taggat Elementary School. Lately, thru the resolution made by barangay officials, GPTA Officers and the School head Mrs. Eliabeth T. Mamauag, Principal II it was named to TAGGAT SUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL catering Kindergarten to Grade VI.
