The Southeast Asian Teacher Project (SEA Teacher) is an initiative of the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) that provides opportunities for education students in Southeast Asia to do teaching practice abroad. The main objectives of this program are to improve teaching skills, broaden cultural insights, and strengthen cooperation between ASEAN countries in the field of education.
Being a SEA TEACHER exchange student has been a incredible journey of learning and growth. Teaching in a different country challenged me to the adapt, be creative, and embrace cultural diversity. I gained not only teaching experience but also lifelong friendships and a deeper understanding of education beyond borders. This program has shaped me into a more confident and open-minded educator. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and hope to continue making a positive impact in the world of education.

Brief Story
Capiz High School, now Capiz National High School was completely organized in 1913 and became the nucleus of education in the province of Capiz. Its teaching staff was composed of Americans, and education was patterned from the American system. All the students spoke the English language. Filipino dresses and Barong Tagalog were used as uniforms.
In 1952, Capiz High School offered normal and general courses. The normal course included History, Biology, Reading Methods, Arithmetic Methods and Music while the general course consisted of History, English, Mathematics, Science, Biology and Physical education. In 1933, the normal course was abolished, and in 1935, vocational courses were offered. For the First and Second Year students, vocational courses were exploratory, while the Third and Fourth Year students took their specialization.
The Second World War interrupted the normal function of the school since it was used as a garrison of the Japanese Imperial Army. A week after it was occupied, the school was burned down by the American forces which brought great damage to the school. In the absence of stadium, athletes were then held at the foot of Capiz High School. The school can boast of outstanding athletes who competed not only in regional meet but likewise in national competitions.
In 1957, Capiz High School was closed and it became a part of Capiz School of Arts and Trades now, Capiz State University but was reopened in 1960 through the initiative of the late Governor Atila Balgos and the late Assistant Division Superintendent of school, Jesus A. Menez. When it was reopened, Ms. Socorro F. Mejorada was assigned as Principal. Since the school was growing, department heads were assigned to aid the Assistant Principal Ms. Josefa Argos in 1972.
The year 1982 proved a great year for Capiz High School. With the help of Assemblyman of Capiz Jaenito Madamba, Parliamentary Bill 229 was passed on December 11, 1981, converting Capiz High School into a National High School. On February 8, 1982, ex-President Ferdinand Marcos signed Batas Blg. 137 which converted it into Capiz National High School. Since then, the school grew and continued to reap success.
After Mrs. Narcisa Artates assumed office in 1988, a tie-up project with the DOST was made possible thus, giving birth to the Special Science and Technology Class. The school was the recipient of computers donated by the DOST which were used for instruction by the pioneer graduates of SSTC. In 1993, the school was conferred the Divisional Leader School and Pilot School for Principal Empowerment and was awarded as the Most Outstanding Implementer and the Best Performing School in Region VI. Being the pioneer recipient-school of the Department of Trade and Industry Personal Computers for Public Schools Project, it opened the School of the Future, which is a computer-based literacy instruction. The school actively responded at the challenge of the national culture of excellence, thus paving the road map for the opening of the Special Program for the Arts which eventually produced talents in performing and visual arts for global competitiveness.
Capiz National High School will continue to grow as a prime secondary school in the province as well as in the region and in the whole country after it was awarded and recognized internationally for the Science Investigatory Project in 2006 in the United States. Since education is a continued process, so must a school grow to new heights, facing the challenges of time and answering to the call of civilization.
