History

Don Felix de Leon Memorial School, located at the heart of San Agustin, San Miguel, Bulacan, was founded by a group of civic-spirited leaders in 1917 . It started as San Agustin Primary School with Mr. Limbano Tecson as the only teacher. Following shortly were Miss Encarnacion Calma teaching Grades I and II and Mr. Gonzalo Capulong handling Grades III and IV. It became a complete elementary school in 1951.

The original site of one-half hectare was donated by a philanthropist named Don Felix de Leon. Based on Republic Act 1645 dated June 20,1957, through the effort of barangay folks, the name San Agustin Elementary School was changed to Don Felix de Leon Memorial School in honor of the donor.
