HISTORY of KNCHS

Koronadal National Comprehensive High School was established in 1947, occupying at first a dense cogonal area of 79,000 square meters all the greeneries of shrubs and shaded trees as its landscape.

Its first name was Koronadal Junior High School and later through Republic Act 5550, a bill sponsored by James Chiongbian, converted Koronadal Junior High School to Koronadal National Comprehensive High School on July 1, 1970. The school’s conversion to a national comprehensive high school paved a way for more improvements.

The school started with 184 students in 1974, and today it is the second home of more than 7,000 students from first to fourth year levels.

The late Mr. Martin Dideles supervised the first teaching staff of the school. The first principal to serve the school was Mr. Basilico Baptista. More teachers were added as enrollment increased.

When Ariston Viloria retired in 1985 as a Principal III, Mrs. Edith Baptista was promoted to Principal IV and took over as the new school head. After serving the school for many years, Mrs. Baptita died in 1004 due to illness. Different persons were placed to head the school temporarily.

In August 22, 2005, Mr. Fernando C. Hilomen returned to KNCHS and was installed as the new principal. Known as an experienced instructional leader and a man of action, he started the campaign of bringing back the glory of the school. New buildings were added and old ones were remodeled, repaired and repainted. He encouraged teaching personnel of the school to help achieve excellence in all areas.
