A-1 History of Camp Lapulapu Elementary School
In year 1956, a school was constructed and was opened because the military men requested this for the benefit for their children. It was named Lahug Elementary School Extension from 1956-1961. The grade level was grade I-IV with only four classrooms and four teachers who were wives of the military men. The children were mostly sons and daughters of military men who were assigned in the III MA- 3rd Military Area, Camp Lapulapu, Cebu City which is now popularly known as Central Command (CENTCOM).
By June 1962, Lahug Elementary School Extension was changed to Camp Lapulapu Elementary School with the permission and approval by the Department of Education. At the same year, the school opened Grades V and VI classes with two additional teachers. From that year enrolment was increasing and more classes were organized.
At present the school population is 2, 212 with 55 teachers.
