It has evolved significantly since its inception as a high school in 1945, and in 2000, it became one of four satellite campuses in the Third Congressional District of Iloilo within the West Visayas State University (WVSU) system. The institution was founded as ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น (๐—œ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ผ ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ต) in 1945 under the umbrella of Iloilo National High School, providing post-war refresher classes. It evolved into ๐—œ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ผ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น in 1946 and then to ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—›๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น in 1947, maintaining this name until 1957. Initially, classes were held in the NARIC building. They later moved to a 20-room nipa building at the town plaza before eventually transferring to the current site in Barangay Cau-ayan, Pototan. The 11.5-hectare school site includes 9.5 hectares donated by civic-minded Pototanons and an additional 2 hectares purchased by the school. On June 22, 1957, Pototan High School was converted to ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—ก๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฉ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—น under Republic Act 1924. For 26 years, this institution served as a training ground for technical-vocational education. It was under the supervision of the Bureau of Public Schools and adhered to the provisions of the School Law, offering secondary-level courses. On June 24, 1983, by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 610, the school was converted into ๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ผ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—”๐—ฟ๐˜๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐˜€. Degree programs in education were added to the trade-technical courses, and more buildings and classrooms were constructed, along with the acquisition of additional facilities. The Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports authorized the offering of various programs, including Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education, Bachelor of Science in Practical Arts, Post-Secondary Trade Technical Education, and Secondary Trade Education. On January 29, 1999, under Special Provision No. 9 of Republic Act 8760, Pototan College of Arts and Sciences was integrated into West Visayas State University, Iloilo City. This integration became operational on August 22, 2000, through the issuance of CHED Memorandum Order 27, series of 2000. Since then, the school has been known as ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ฉ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—จ๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†-๐—ฃ๐—ผ๐˜๐—ผ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—–๐—ฎ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐˜‚๐˜€. Under WVSU, the Pototan campus has expanded its degree programs to include teacher education, industrial technology, information technology, business, and management. The campus administration, both past and present, has spearheaded significant improvements to the physical infrastructure. These enhancements include constructing new buildings, renovating existing structures, acquiring modern equipment, and upgrading facilities to better serve the needs of a knowledge-based society. For over two decades, WVSU in Pototan has distinguished itself as a leading institution for education and training in the central part of the province. #
