The school went ahead with its expansion program, acquiring a one-and-a-half-hectare lot in Pag-asa Street, Caniogan, Pasig bearing its official name, Andres Bonifacio High School in 1979. The High School and College Library occupied the two adjacent rooms at the second floor of the school’s four-storey building.
