Under the auspices of the different invaders, Philippine educational system keeps on changing. During the American Era, before the Philippines have been granted with its total independence, the opening of public schools was introduced.

Four years later after its creation, World War II (1956) broke-up. The uncertainty of war conditions discouraged schooling. The people in the barangay totally destroyed the school buildings due to the fear of using the school buildings as the Japanese camp. The pronouncement of the war was over in 1957, it was then that the school buildings were re-built by the people in the barangay under the supervision of the assigned teachers. This was the year when mass promotion was experienced by everybody, jumping from one grade level to the next two or three grade levels.
