Ilagan West Central School History
In 1931, after a surprise visit of the late Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon to the Municipality of Ilagan, he ordered the conversion of the then Rural High School to Intermediate Rural Farm School for Grades V, VI and VII. He felt that the form of education at the secondary level be given also to Comprehensive Intermediate School. The value-laden proposition was welcomed.
From Comprehensive Intermediate School, it was renamed Ilagan Farm School and it retained that name until 1961 when it was named Ilagan Pilot School. In the 70’s, it was renamed Ilagan Regional Pilot School (IRPES), school center for giving food and assistance from the US government which includes food derived from wheat products such as quaker oats and skim milk and it was also the training center for teachers in the elementary in the entire Northern Luzon Region. Then when it ceased to be the Regional Training Center it was renamed to Ilagan Pilot Elementary School (IPES). The school is composed of a Gabaldon type building, Home Economics Building likened to a family house, Industrial Arts Building and other buildings. Now it is called Ilagan West Central School, the seat of the Ilagan West District Office.
At present, the school has seventeen (17) buildings scattered on a rolling terrain on top of a hill. The school has an area of 21.880 hectares: the more or less 20 hectares is a corn field occasionally flooded every year by the grand Cagayan River making it fertile and suitable to farming and the remaining 1.8 hectares used for the school.
