History

Solana South Central School was founded in 1914 by a group of Protestant Americans from Wisconsin who sailed from American educator; were later popularly called Thomasites. It is the first elementary school in Solana and was originally named Solana Pilot Elementary School. It is situated at the heart of the town proper of the municipality of Solana. The first teachers were not Americans but were American-trained. Early account of our school say that there were two huts that stood just across the former residence of Mr. Ceferino Cepeda that served as classrooms and that an American flag was raised every morning.

There were few enrollees in its early years of operation. But because of the indescribable dedication of the teachers, the school population has increase. So its name was changed to Solana South Central School and this was successively headed by the following school managers:
