History

The founding of Gat Andres Bonifacio High School is the fulfillment of the Department of Education’s mission-- to protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based and complete basic education where: students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe and motivating environment.

The Taguig City Integrated Systems survey result posted in December 2, 2013 revealed that in Barangay Fort Bonifacio, out of 3,553 total households, 43.54%(1,547 families) belongs to the class D status and 44.39%(1,577 families) belongs to class E status. The added cost of travelling learners to Pasay City Schools and the risk of traversing the South Superhighway enable the Department of Education to convert one Pepperjack warehouse of the Nutrition Council into a 12-classroom makeshift building.

The school started its operation with Brigada Eskwela activities held on May 24, 2015. It was gracely attended by different officials from the Division of Taguig City and Pateros, headed by the Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Danilo S. Gutierrez and the Chief for School Governance and Operations, Dr. George P. Tizon. The presence of the Honorable Mayor Ma. Laarni “Lani” Cayetano led the tree-planting activities together with other local officials, teachers, students, parents,and other stakeholders. The first opening of classes in the school’s history was held on June 01, 2015 highlighted by the raising of the Philippine flag followed by the opening program,witnessed by hundreds of nearby residents, students, teachers and local officials.

The school was visited by the DEPED Secretary himself, Bro Armin A. Luistro,FSC on July 24, 2015 to personally view the site of the proposed 12-classroom building and meet the students, faculty and staff, giving them the hope and realization of the DEPED Vision and Mission.

On October 13, 2015, the DEPED’s promise to the community was fulfilled in the Ground breaking ceremony of a two two-storey 12-classroom building, attended by the Regional Director of the National Capital Region, Dr. Luz S. Almeda, and the Honorable Congressman of Taguig District II, Lino S. Cayetano, and other school and local officials.

As of today, on-going constructions are being done to ensure that quality education will be delivered to more than 3000 students with the help of its 24 committed teachers and non-teaching personnel, and one energetic Principal in the person of Ms. Nida DC. Dela Cruz.
