On its initial operation, the school catered 87 students (44 boys and 43 girls); three mentors were housed at the 4-classroom building built by the Office of Congressman, Hon. Manuel N. Mamba on the 1-hectare lot owned by Malummin Barrio School under the supervision of Mrs. Maribel S. Arellano, Secondary School Teacher III and Dr. Rodolfo S. Maribbay, Secondary School Principal III, as monitoring officials.
