**BRIEF HISTORY OF CATAGTAGUEN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL **

The Catagatguen National High School formerly a barangay high school is located at Barangay Catagtaguen, Banna, Ilocos Norte

which is 2.5 kilometers south of the poblacion, 42 kilometers away from the capital of the province, Laoag City and situated along the national highway going to Nueva Era.

The school was created by a Bario Council Resolution No. 2 on January 24, 1972 under the leadership of then Bario Captain Loreto Corrales

with the initiative of then District Supervisor Ruperto Gumtang and the assistance and cooperation of Mr. Crispulo Morales, an elementary grades teacher,

the Bario Council and the people of Catagtaguen. The resolution was endorsed then to the new town mayor of the municipality Hon. Carlito N. Abadilla.

The first created barangay high school under his term. the first year of operation was on July 1972 and in the school year 1972 - 1973,

its enrolment was 38 students with only one full time teacher.

The nationalization of all barangay high schools in the entire country under Executive Order 189 in the year 1986 by then President Corazon Aquino

gave way to the separation of the high school from the site of the elementary. Thus, the school acquired more or less two hectare lot adjacent tot the elementary school,

and already registered in the name of the school. this lot was acquired through donation by the efforts of Mayor Carlito Abadilla,

the Municipal Council, and the PTA. The site was donated by the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Crispulo Morales and Mayor Carlito N. Abadilla.
