Iligan City National High School

The Iligan City National High School was established July 1, 1963 by the Honorable City Mayor Camilo P. Cabili. It started to offer the first and second year high school with an initial enrolment of two hundred sixty four (264) and with only thirteen (13) faculty members. The initial school budget approved by the city council for the operation and maintenance of the school was P64,000.00. 

Twenty years later, the school enrolment increased tremendously from 264 students in 1963 to 7,140 students in 1983, while school budget skyrocketed from P64.000.00 to about four million pesos (P4,000,000.00) for the same period. The huge appropriation constituted a big grain on the city coffers.

In November 1983, the bill sponsored by the Assemblyman Abdullah Dimaporo to nationalize the high school upon recommendation of the City Mayor Cabili and the Sangguniang Panglunsod was signed into law and the ICNHS became Iligan City National High School with a national budget of P4,600.000.00 for calendar year 1984.

The school is located at Gen. Wood Street, Corner Roxas Avenue, Brgy. Mahayahay, Iligan City, 9200 Lanao del Norte. It offers both a high school and a senior high school program.
