It was opened as a primary school in 1901 with the first school building constructed at the former site of the Enrile municipal hall. The first known teacher was a Thomasite by the name of Mr. A. L. Small. A few months later another Thomasite by the name of Mr. F. F. Corley joined him.
With the increase in enrollment due to the growing consciousness to education, the local educators were recruited to teach. they were Mrs. Soledad Gacutan-Guzman, Mr. Mariano Liggayu, Mr Rufino Luyun, Mr. Bernardo Turingan, Mr. Marcelo Paguyu and Ms. Pilar Sibayan-Guzman. Mr. Alfonso de Asis became the first principal of the Enrile Primary School.
The first primary graduation was held in 1905.
The School building could no longer accommodate the number of pupils enrolled hence it moved to the community. The house of then Fr. Isaac Albano, the residence of Mr. Thomas Guzman was used as workshop for Home Economics while the residence of Mr. Pedro Pagulayan and the Town Plaza, now the Rizal Park were used as classrooms.
In 1908-1910, the Gabaldon Buildings were constructed. The first Supervisor in the person of Mr. Gregorio Reyes was appointed.
In 1917, Enrile Primary School became Enrile Elementary. It offered grades 1 to 7.
The last batch of Grade 7 graduated in 1940.
Today, the school boasts of prominent graduates who now share their competence and expertise in different fields or professions.
Enrile North Central School as we conceive it today, is the achievement of a succession of highly competent and dedicated principals with the support of efficient and inspired teachers not to mention the active and very cooperative parents.
