Established on September 2, 1902 by American Thomasites, it is considered as the seat of the oldest public high school system in the country.[1] It is one of the largest secondary schools in the region with over 7,000 student population.[2]
The first principal of the school was Frank Russell White, a Thomasite teacher assigned as the deputy division superintendent for Tarlac Province in 1900.[3] The current head of the school is Dr. Yolanda Gonzales.
