ABOUT NOVALICHES HIGH SCHOOL

Community profile

Novaliches High School lies nestled within an environment that is close to nature and far from the maddening crowd and pollution of the bustling metropolis. The school itself is situated along Lakandula and Diego Silang Streets at the heart of T.S Cruz Subdivision in Barangay San Agustin Novaliches Quezon City, Philippines. It occupies a 1.3 hectares lot which was donated to the city government by the owners of the T.S. Cruz Subdivision. It has 8 buildings, one of which was the old Practical Arts Building already demolished giving way to the newly constructed four storey 18-classroom building.


HISTORY

Novaliches High School started as an annex of Quezon City High School in the school year 1960-1961 with 88 students, 5 teacher-pioneers and a head teacher to blaze the trail.

It reached its independent status in 1964 under Mrs. Isabel C. Tinga, who was initially Head Teacher-in-charge of the school (later promoted as its principal in the school year 1971-1972).

In the school year 1966-1967, the Reservoir, Novaliches High School’s official Publication released its maiden issue. It was also during this year when Bienvenido E. Laguesma, once the Secretary of Labor during the Estrada Administration graduated as valedictorian and Most Outstanding Leader of the year.

In 1969, the school was practically leveled to the ground by the calamitous visit of typhoon “Yoling”. But, like the phoenix that emerged young and invigorated when it rises from its ashes, Novaliches High School rose triumphantly from its ruins through the concerted effort of the city officials, the school administrators and civic-minded citizens, to once more meet the challenges of time with fervor and determination.

It produced a new generation of student leaders in 1971 with Mr. Ricardo S. Reyes as the principal – an event that would later mark the beginning of what would later be a glorious decade in the history of the school.

In the following years, beginning 1972-1973, with President Ferdinand E. Marcos declaring Martial Law in the country, these “New Youth of City Schools continued to emerged”.

Under the stewardship of Mr. Florencio B. Dumlao (October 1972-August 1982) Novaliches High School became a model community school with the following outstanding achievements:

● National Winner – National Green Revolution Contest

● Winner – Regional Green Revolution Contest

● Division Winner – Model School

● District Winner – Model School

These years, under the leadership of the late Mr. Florencio B. Dumlao were considered the “Golden Years” of Novaliches High School in the areas of academics, discipline, leadership, cleanliness and beautification, and this developed among the students a positive brand of activism.

With the influx of enrollees, the school was forced to open an annex at Lagro in 1974. Lagro High School headed by Mr. Pilar, was the first of Novaliches High School’s annexes. The second followed in 1980 Sta. Lucia High School, then led by Mr. Eliseo Cabangon as its head teacher-in-charge.

In the year 1983-1984 Novaliches High School boasted a total of 4,239 students and 132 teachers under the leadership of Ms. Flor Sandoval as Secondary School Department Head and in-charge of the school.

Novaliches High School continued to consistently produce winners in the different districts, divisions, regional and national level contests and was also the recipient of different awards in the “Tulungan sa Kalikasan”. These scores of awards distinctions and honors were added to the gallery of achievement of Novaliches High School student and alumni.
