                                 Calamba National High School is geographically located 8km from the city proper at the Southeastern part of the City of Cabadbaran, Agusan Del Norte. The school started during the summer of 1996 when the residents of Barangay Calamba were motivated to open a high school due to increase in the cost of living and was annexed to Agay National High School of R.T.R., Agusan Del Norte.
