Come join us and together, let us capture the essence of each story virtually as we flip through these written pages. La Union National High School is situated in Barangay Catbangen, one of the largest barangays in the City of San Fernando. It is situated about 50 meters away from the city proper. It is bounded on the west by the China Sea; on the east, by Barangay II and Sevilla; on the south, by Barangay San Francisco; and, on the north, by Barangay IV and Ilocanos Sur. It has a total land area of 132.5 hectares and is composed of seven (7) “sitio/purok”. It is considered the Education Hub of the City because of the presence of five institutions that have the most number of student populations, which include two campuses of the Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, La Union National High School, Catbangen Elementary School, Gifted Learning Center, and other pre-schools. Founded in 1903, La Union National High School is a prominent public secondary school in the province of La Union due to its rich historical heritage, high enrolment rate averaging 4,500 every school year and for offering the most number of special programs and curriculum innovations. The school prides itself of a history with Americans serving as administrators until 1923 when management was turned over to Filipino school principals. Since the start, it has become a leader school in the province of La Union producing graduates who have become distinguished leaders and good citizens not only of our country but also abroad

The Adopt-a-School Program concepts through the numerous extension services of stakeholders have been effectively used; hence, have earned the school a number of outstanding accomplishments in various disciplines and numerous endeavors.
