History of the School

It was 1920 when the Tilapayong Primary School was established under the leadership of Mr. Julio M. Miranda and his associates Mr. Teodoro Toribio and Mr. Andres Santos who were all living in Barangay Tilapayong.

The school started with only four classrooms located not just in the current location but in its frontier with only two teachers and fifty students still coming from neighborhoods such as Sulivan, Piel, Pinagbarilan and Catulinan by the time of the Spanish occupation of Barangay Tilapayong. In these areas came the first students who had graduated from school.

In the 1930s, even young people in neighborhoods such as Concepcion, San Simon, Pampanga and San Jose, San Luis, Pampanga (which served as the border or between Baliwag and Pampanga) were all attending the School of Tilapayong.

As it continued to flourish, its students continued to grow and hence began to use the area where the school was once used by the Japanese soldiers as their quarter with only two rooms. Even before it became a quarter of the Japanese army, this area was the farmland of Mr. Julio M. Miranda and was originally intended to occupy this area of ​​9,521 sq.m. as the school of Barangay Tilapayong and this took place even before the Land Reform of former president Ferdinand Marcos. Thus, the area that became government land inherited from the Land Bank of the Philippines was eventually designated as a village school.

By 1980, the number of school pupils had rapidly increased to 600.

The development of the school is like a speedy period of time. From four small classrooms, fifty students and two teachers, it is now a solid teacher-led institution, a broad school with 21 classrooms, and a strictly nine hundred students (900 ) that mostly live in the area and most come from neighborhoods such as Sulivan, Tangos, Piel, Catulinan and even in far-flung places in Pampanga.
