History
San Juan National High School was first known as San Juan Community High School, established in 1968. It had a total population of 105 first-year students. Mrs. Celita P. Ramiro (Miss Paner at the time) was the first individual teacher employed under the supervision of the Principal, Miss Aurora Lagrada.
The name of the school was later changed into San Juan Barangay High School when Mr. Pedro Madrazo was elected as the PTA President.
The school’s population increased yearly. Hon. Elpidio Asedillo, elected Municipal Mayor, together with the help of Barangay Captain Pastor Manguiat, improved the structure of the school. The supervision was direct from Pedro Guevara Memorial High School in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, although the assistant principal who at that time was the elementary school principal directly supervised the barangay high school.
The first Assistant Principal was Mr. Enrique Javan. The faculty members increased according to the year level. The additional teachers were: Miss Juana Porcincula (Science, Chemistry and History), Mrs. Estella Salandanan (Filipino), Mrs. Angelita Alonzosana (English and History), Mrs. Natividad Rino (Mathematics) and Mrs. Efipania Queliste (English and Physics). The salaries of the teaching staff of SJBHS were taken from the funds of the local government.
The next Assistant Principal was Miss Eustaquia Oben. More teachers were added to the staff, namely: Mr. Dominador Queliste (Practical Arts and CAT), Mrs. Analyn Dionisio (Home Economics), Mrs. Cherrie Manguiat (Physical Education) and Mrs. Marietta Rabutazo (Physical Education and Filipino). Mrs. Queliste acted as office aide and was in-charge of reports, payroll services and at the same time a liaison officer who took salaries of teachers every quarter.
Mrs. Myrna Kabamalan became the Assistant Principal in 1978. Checking of forms was done in PGMHS.
In 1980’s, there were additional teachers namely: Mr. Antonio Pagalanan and Mr. Roman Rayosa. There were two sections for every year level. For that reason, there was a need for the construction of new buildings. The first three-room building near the town’s medical center was erected. It housed the school’s bulging population and paved way for the whole population to transfer to the new school site. The town’s gymnasium was temporarily converted into classrooms. The Principal then was Mrs. Estella P. Salandanan.
Some teachers transferred to other schools. Mrs. Estella P. Salandanan was promoted, leaving Mrs. Marietta R. Rabutazo as the Head Teacher who eventually became the new principal of the school. The name of the school was again changed into San Juan National High School. The salaries of the staff were now given by the national government. More buildings were built and modern laboratory apparatuses and other teaching aids were given to the school.
In the year 1999, Dr. Sonia S. Cadawas became the Principal of the national high school. There was an increase in the total number of supervisory and administrative staff and the population of students. Thus, beginning in the year 2003, two extension schools were opened in Brgy. San Antonio, Kalayaan, and Paete with Mrs. Ma. Nelia A. Valero and Mr. Frederick G. Byrd, Jr. as Teacher Leaders, respectively. Later on, SJNHS – Paete Extension was nationalized and renamed Poten and Eliceo M. Quesada Memorial National High School where Mr. Byrd became Head Teacher.
Along with new innovations, Dr. Estella P. Salandanan once again became the Principal of the secondary school in the year 2005. Each year level has five to six sections and was headed by a chief adviser. Coordinators were also assigned in each subject areas to act as heads of these departments.
Both facilities improvement and academic competitiveness in various activities, teaching strategies and many others were implemented in SJNHS – Main and Extension. Through collaboration between the administration, faculty, staff, students, as well as parents and community, the school would gain greater heights for common good in years to come.
