More Than Just a School 

Since 1988, San Roque National High School has served the community of Paombong, Bulacan — growing from a single institution into a school shaped by the people who walked through its gates. For almost four decades, our purpose has stayed the same even as the world around us changed: prepare students not just for the next exam, but for the life waiting for them after it.

That purpose shows up in the everyday. It's in classrooms where teachers stay a little longer to make sure a lesson actually lands. It's in a Senior High program that keeps strengthening its tracks to match where students want to go — whether that's college, a trade, or straight into the workforce. It's in a community that shows up for Brigada Eskwela, for school events, for each other, year after year.

We know education isn't just about passing. It's about becoming someone ready for what's next — and that's the school we've worked to build, one batch of students at a time.

The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a Chairman. The Education agency underwent many reorganization efforts in the 20th century in order to better define its purpose vis a vis the changing administrations and charters. The present day Department of Education was eventually mandated through Republic Act 9155, otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education act of 2001 which establishes the mandate of this agency.

The Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies, plans, programs and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education. It supervises all elementary and secondary education institutions, including alternative learning systems, both public and private; and provides for the establishment and maintenance of a complete, adequate, and integrated system of basic education relevant to the goals of national development.
