"THE HISTORY OF BLBNHS"

Bobonan National High School was founded in August 10, 1966. A prominent son of barangay Bobonan, Don Gerardo Buada, was inspired to establish the first barangay secondary school in Pozorrubio at the time when the barangay high school movement was spreading in the country due to the initiative of Dr. Pedro Orata, an educator from Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, who later came to be known as the Father of Barangay High Schools”.

            At the grounds of Bobonan Central School, Bobonan Community High School was born. It started with two curriculum years in School Year 1966-1967 with Mr. Celestino Desamito, the principal of the elementary school as assistant principal of the high school, two teachers and two part time teachers who were elementary school teachers of the Bobonan Central School..    

In September 7, 1987, the school became nationalized through Executive Order 189 signed by President Corazon C. Aquino. However, Mrs. Consuelo Carillo, who was designated teacher in charge and one of the pioneering teachers, resigned as teacher in charge of the school due to poor health in September 3, 1990. In her place, a 29-year old teacher in this school accepted the challenge of being the school administrator. Mr. Florencio B. Quezon soon became a full pledge Principal I in 1994. Later, the young principal finished his doctorate while enabling the school`s growth under his administration. From having only eight teachers, the faculty increased to 13 teachers and an Annex was established in Nama to cater to the educational needs of students residing in that barangay.

The Bobonan National High School Annex in Nama rose to become the Nama National High School today. Dr. Quezon relentlessly proceeded to mark further changes. He improved the classrooms, built the school canteen, study shed, conference room, and renovated the principal`s office.   

            February 14, 2002, Dr. Enrique R. Macayan replaced Dr. Quezon who was promoted as Principal II in Antonio P. Villar National High School in Sto. Tomas, Pangasinan. His coming ushered in further development for Bobonan NHS. His leadership led to the construction of the two-storey building, the renovation of the Social Hall, construction of more classrooms, among others. His amiable character strengthened community support for the school. It was also during his administration that the proposal to change the school`s name was initiated. Thus, Bobonan-Laoac-Batakil National High School came into being but it has not been made official as the proponent has yet to work it out with the National Historical Commission, Dr. Macayan  said.

   Considered the biggest barangay high school in Pozorrubio in terms of enrollment, the students of Bobonan National High School come from barangays Bobonan, Laoac, Batakil, Inoman, Palacpalac, Palguyod, Rosario in Pozorrubio, and all the way from Paldit, Asan Sur, Artacho in Sison, Pangasinan.

Bobonan Nation High School had improved classroom building, new structure for library, school canteen, study shed, conference room, improved principal’s office and the like. It is progressing and has live up to three expectationof the community. After 18 years of service in BNHS, Mr. Florencio Quezon Jr, was promoted Principal II at Antonio Villar National High School at Sto. Tomas, Pangasinan. Today, it has 1 Head Teacher, 1 Master Teacher, 3 Teacher III, 12 Teachers, 1 Computer Instructor and 1 Local School Board funded by the Municipal Government Policies preparing the youth for a BETTER TOMORROW.

"Bobonan NHS today continues to broaden its reach to fulfill dreams, inspires young people, and carries out its vision and mission with zest."
