Brief History
PUP Unisan, formerly PUP Technical School-Unisan, was conceived in 1986 out of the missionary zeal: and with some local officials and friends who wanted to establish a school in Unisan as their contribution to the welfare of the out-of-school youth.
PUP Unisan was established in 1987 as a vocational-technical school offering short-term courses such as secretarial, fashion, food technology, automotive, refrigeration, radio & TV and practical electricity. Without a building of its own, the branch used the old Gabaldon building of Unisan Central while a new building with three classrooms was constructed in 1988. The OIC at that time was Prof. Visitacion D. Abrigo from Sta. Maria, Bulacan. She was assisted by another faculty member from the university, Prof. Violeta L. Ratcho, acting as the Academic Head and Registrar.
In 1988 two new courses were added: Computer and Driving when PUP was under the administration of Prof. Roberto C. Laguatan from Lopez, Quezon.
After a brief period of four years, through the leadership of the then-Director Prof. Violeta L. Ratcho, PUP Technical was granted junior college status by the university President Dr. Nemesio E. Prudente. In June 1991, the branch registered 65 qualified freshmen to its two-year ladderized course leading to the Bachelor of Business Education.
With the financial aid given in 1993, the branch was allowed by the President of University to offer an undergraduate course in Business Education and with the budget released, a one story, four-classroom building was constructed in 1994 in a 2.5 hectare lot donated by the municipality of Unisan to PUP.
The high quality of instruction at PUP Unisan has produced not only board passers but also alumni who have distinguished themselves in the technical and their chosen fields.
