CNHS's HISTORY
In the late 1980’s, Kapitan Melicio Bataller, Sr. envisioned a public secondary school that would provide quality standard of education to the young minds in the rapidly growing barangay of Cabibihan. This vision was realized in 2011 when his grandson Mr. Leopoldo B. Mendoza, then OIC of Cabibihan Elementary School, worked for the establishment of the said school. This was made possible when Mr. and Mrs. Epifanio Mendoza donated a one-hectare parcel of land situated in the boundaries of Cabibihan and its neighboring Barangay Malbog. His uncle, Kapitan Rolando R. Bataller, and the Sangguniang Barangay of Cabibihan, Malbog, Del Rosario, San Luis I and Triumpo assisted him in this undertaking. They supported the opening of the school overwhelmingly.
Cabibihan National High School formally opened in June 13, 2011 and was fully recognized by the Department of Education in June 27 of the same year. It had 100 first students composed of graduates from Cabibihan Elementary School and its neighboring barrio schools, Out-of-School Youths, and adults who expressed their willingness to go back to formal schooling. The barangay hall was their temporary classroom.
Mr. Neil Victor A. Villenas and Mrs. Ma. Teresa Maiwat-Alba were the first teachers. Ms. Clarissa A. Masajo, Mrs. Melody Guico-Venerayan and Mr. Arnel B. Peña became part of CNHS from July 2011 until March 2012. In S.Y. 2012-2013 Mrs. Remedios C. Lamatao served as Locally Funded Teacher. They were under the leadership of Mr. Leopoldo Bataller Mendoza, the founder and the first school head of CNHS.
