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 found along Manuel L. Quezon and Diego
Silang Street at the heart of T.S Cruz Subdivision in Barangay San
Agustin Novaliches Quezon City.
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.
