SCHOOL HISTORY

Daanghari Elementary School is situated in Barangay North Daanghari, Taguig City. It is used to be part of the former Barangay Bagong Tanyag which was divided into three barangays in April 2009, Namely Barangay Tanyag Proper, Barangay South Daanghari and Barangay North Daanghari. The school is situated near DOST – PTRI/SEI and Landbank. SM Bicutan is just a walking distance from the school.

The school has a total area of 1,502 square meters. It started with a Marcos - type school building constructed in the early part of 1972. It was begun through the efforts of Mayor Monico Tanyag, Mr. Juanario Tuyay and a certain Tatang Olis.

The first school building had three rooms with six classes, Grade I and Grade II, with two classes each while Grade III and Grade IV, one class each. The school was supervised by Mr. Bayani Pili, who was then the principal of Upper Bicutan Elementary School.

In 1976, 12 classes were organized with 14 teachers. The first principal assigned was Mrs. Julia Lopena who didn’t stay long due to promotion. Mrs. Virginia T. Cruz replaced her and the first commencement exercise happened during her time.

In 1978, another Marcos – type building was built. This three – classroom building was constructed and an emergency plan was implemented to accommodate all the pupils and to address lack of classrooms. It was on that year that Daanghari Elementary School became a complete school.

In June 2003, the Marcos – type building was demolished to give way to the construction of the first phase of the four – storey twenty classroom building. Half of the school population held classes in the barangay covered court while the others remain in the school premises.

The school despite problems and inconveniences stood high and reaped honors as years went by. Facilities improved and learning environment was enhanced through the dedication of assigned school heads.

At present, the school has 2 four – storey buildings and a stage. It has 64 permanent teachers, 2 LSB (Local School Board), a principal, 59 classes and 2,555 pupils from kinder to Grade VI. It has 12 pre-school classes since June of 2014.

Presently, the principal of this school is Mrs. Aurora L. Perez.
