BAROBO NHS IN THE MAKING: GLIMPSE IN THE PAST
The late ABC President Eutiquio P. Urbiztondo, together with the late Vice Mayor Tiburcio Mercader, SB Member Ignacio Serrano, the late Mr. Jose Pantaleon, Sr.-school Head of Barobo Elementary School, and councilor Rolando M. Guillen, ably assisted by Mr. Sereno C. Ronquillo, who was its first school principal, conceived the creation of Barobo Municipal High School, now Barobo National High School, in 1975. This was mainly due to the increased enrollment of the only high school in the municipality at that time, Mother of Mercy Academy.
The said application for the opening of a high school was favorably endorsed by the late Mayor Merritt P. Goode in 1976 through a legislative council resolution to the Schools Division Superintendent of the Division of Surigao del Sur during the incumbency of the late Antonio A. Orozco who strongly recommended the approval of the opening of the Barobo Municipal High School to the Regional Director Pedro O. San Vicente of the DECS, Region XI, Davao City.
After undergoing the rigorous preparation of the needed documents as to the establishment of the school, the then Barobo Municipal High School offered its two year levels-first and second year level respectively in 1978 by virtue of DECS Permit Nos. 04, s. 1978. It was being upgraded with third and fourth year by virtue of DECS Permit Nos.11-R, s.1979 and No.12, s.1979. Classes were housed at Barobo Central Elementary School since Barobo Municipal High School had no building yet of its own. There were two (2) part-time teachers and five (5) full-time teachers at that time under the supervision of the Asst. Principal, Dr. Sereno C. Ronquillo, Sr. from June 1978 to July 1982. In 1981, it produced its first graduates. While in 1986, Barobo Municipal High School was named Barobo National High School which was then managed by a Teacher-In-Charge until 1994. In 1987, the school was transferred to its present 4-hectare site.
With the growing school population and under the administration of Dr. Aida U. Aribal, the school opened its annexes in 1997 at Cabacungan, Javier and Tambis which were nationalized later. In 2008, the school offered Technical-Vocational Curriculum and was enhanced in 2010 when it offered Special Science Curriculum in the Junior High School. In March 2012, the school was confirmed as accredited school, Level I, for the Project Sterling Silver Peer Accreditation Program (PSSAP) for Public Secondary Schools, SY 2011—2012.
By virtue of R.A. 10533 otherwise known as Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, the school offered its Senior High School with STEM, HUMSS and TVL-CSS, Beauty Care and Cookery strands in 2016 under the leadership of Ms. Brenda U. Adlawan. When Ms. Marcela G. Marticion-Ortega took the post as school principal at Barobo National High School, she exerted ways and means to offer ABM strand as additional strand in the Senior High in 2019 and Special Programs for the Arts (SPA) in the Junior High School and to cater the Muslim learners, ALIVE Class was being offered to them in September 2021. In 2021, the school was proclaimed as Best Brigada Eskwela Implementer (Most Sustained School), declared as Advanced Level of Practice in the implementation of School-Based Management (SBM), Regional Level as well as recognized as Model School in Child-friendly School System, District Level in the same school year.
