History

Pursuant to the Republic Act No. 6655 known as “Free Secondary Education Act of 1998”, the Sangguniang Bayan has proposed to establish a public high school in Pintong Bukawe, San Mateo, Rizal in order to address the growing need of Barangay for a public high school. Fortunately, San Mateo National High School-Pintong Bukawe Annex was established on May 1999 through the cooperative efforts of the people from the municipal government under the administration of former Mayor Engr. Crispin “Amo” Santos, Miss Juana M. Garovillas, the former principal of San Mateo National High School and the Barangay Captain of Pintong Bukawe, Mr. Danilo Laceste Sr. The primary concern of this institution is to provide free, quality education to all and lessen the illiteracy in the community.

Consequently, Miss Juana M. Garovillas assigned Mr. Romeo Benitez and Mr. Chito Ferro who started the opening of the classes in the first year and second year with one hundred thirty (130) students. The school building with two rooms were first occupied by the elementary level but later vacated when the situation became worst due to the presence of MMDA garbage site. Mr. Benitez and Mr. Ferro taught all the subjects in both first year and second year respectively. After two months upon its first operation, the two teachers were replaced by the new set of teachers under provincial and municipal items.
