History
The school was first founded in a house on MacMaster Street, now Sta. Cruz Street, in 1946, and was then named Camarines Norte High School - Vinzons Branch [2] Initially, 119 students were divided into four sections. Classes were held six days a week throughout the school year. In July 1947, classes were transferred to the residence of Carlos Ascotia on the same street.[2]
In 1948, the school moved to a new site on the town's outskirts.
On August 6, 1993, the multi-purpose Student Pavilion was built near the school gate (solicited by GARBO of Vinzons) from the CDF of Congressman Emmanuel Pimentel. On July 6, 1994, ground was broken on a mini park at the back of the JICA building.
