CAMARINES SUR NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Founded: 1902
Motto: Education For The Total Man
History:
Some of the Thomasites in the Philippines came to Ambos, Camarines to teach the children of Bicol in 1901. After an act was passed to establish a national high school system, one of the primary school buildings in Naga City was converted into a provincial high school on July 15, 1902. The principal was Mr. Frank L. Crone and Ms. Minerva Udell was assistant principal. The staff consisted of 4 American teachers. Initially only 70 students, all around 14 years old, were enrolled in the new high school but before the first term ended, there were 200 pupils. After a few weeks, the school moved to another building, in Mabini Street. In 1915, the school changed premises again, moving to its current location along Peñafrancia Avenue, a venue specially provided by the provincial government.
The school closed down during the Japanese Occupation in 1943. The Japanese used its main building as a garrison until the Liberation. The school re-opened in 1945. Though the main building was decrepit, it was still used for classes until it was condemned in 1949.
Over the years, new buildings were added. An alumni association was founded in 1951. On June 19, 1969 the school was given the status of national high school under Republic Act 5529. It is now the largest school in the Bicol Region, with more than 5,000 students.
Brief History
Camarines Sur National High School started with just 70 students and 4 American mentors that constantly increased as weeks passed. On 1950, with the effort of the sitting City Mayor Leon SA. Aureus, the initiation of the Camarines Sur National High School Alumni Association was realized and started to help the school in its goals through its visions.
Brief History
On January 21, 1901, the Philippine Commission under the American Rule enacted Act no. 74, creating the Department of Instruction in the Philippine Territory.
In the later part of the same year, some members of the American teachers known as Thomasites arrived in Ambos Camarines to educate the Bikolano settlers.
On March 7, 1902 the Philippine Commission passed Act no. 373, establishing a secondary school system, partly funded by provincial government.
On July 15, 1902 a provincial high school was opened in one of the primary school buildings in the municipality of Nueva Caceres (now Naga City), the provincial capital of Ambos Camarines. The school was headed by Mr. Frank L. Crone, principal and Ms. Minerva Udell, assistant. The institution started with 70 students and four American mentors. The enrollees age recruitment was 14 years old. The attendance increased steadily and by the end of the first term there were 200 students. Within a few weeks the school was transferred to a renovated building rented by the provincial government somewhere in Mabini Street.
In 1915, the school known as Camarines Sur National High School was transferred to Gainza Street, now Peñafrancia Avenue, its present location. The site was donated by the provincial government for educational purposes.
From 1943 to 1945, during the Japanese occupation, the school was temporarily closed. Its main building served as a garrison for Japanese soldiers under a certain Colonel Isabashi.
In 1945, after American Liberation, the school was re-opened. The main building, though dilapidated, was used for classroom instruction until it was declared unsafe for occupancy in 1949.
In 1950, former City Mayor Leon SA. Aureus initiated the organization of Camarines Sur National High School Alumni Association.
In 1951, former Provincial Governor Juan F. Triviño and Batch 1933, raised funds for the construction of additional school buildings and the school continued to operate through provincial government funds and students' fees.
In 1968, in response to the needs of working students, night class was opened until 1933.
On June 29, 1969 former President Ferdinand E. Marcos approved Republic Act 5529, converting the institution into a national high school known as Camarines Sur National High School. This was realized through the efforts of Mr. Pedro O. Bornas, the school principal from 1961 to 1977, former Congressman Ramon H. Felipe, Ms Pura Luisa V. Magtuto, and Estella D. Anciano, former President and Liaison Officer of the Faculty Club respectively.
In 1971, the school established the Camarines Sur Community College offering two-year post secondary education.
From 1977 to 1992, Mrs. Pura Luisa V. Magtuto served as principal. During her term, more school buildings and facilities were constructed including the Student Pavilion in 1978.
In 1985, Balik Adal Project, a special community outreach program, was launched jointly with the Naga City Government and the Panlunsod na Katipunan ng mga Barangay sa Naga.
In 1991, the Engineering Science Education program was launched under an enriched curriculum in English, Science and Technology and Mathematics.
In 1992, Mrs. Rosa B. Perez succeeded as principal for a short term due to compulsory retirement.
From 1994 to 2002 under the leadership of Mrs. Elizabeth B. Palo, Ed. D., additional buildings were built including the Andaya Building in 1988 and Roco Building in 2001.
From 1999 to 2000, the Special Education Program and Special Program in the Arts were opened.
In 2001, the school represented Luzon in Project Sterling Silver, a peer accreditation for public secondary schools, sponsored by the Department of Education and University of Asia and the Pacific. The Camarines Sur National High School was accredited Level 1 in year 2003, and qualified to apply for Level 2 accreditation.
On December 15, 2002, the school successfully celebrated its Centennial Foundation Anniversary. Its historical record was rectified, changing its foundation date from 1904 to July 15, 1902 based from the research conducted by the team composed of Mrs. Salve C. Lapuz, Ms Yolanda S. Castor and Mr. Jarme D. Taumatorgo.
On November 2002, Education Supervisor II Nely San Buenaventura Abad assumed post as acting principal IV. In her term, night classes were re-opened and new programs were offered: namely, Dep. Ed. Special Program in Sports and Family Farm School Curriculum.

CSNHS PROJECT
Greening program
CSNHS Forest Park
Over the last 500 years, the most insidious degradation, and resource depletion have been caused by people. All these have been done in the name od development that resulted in an imbalance in nature. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources with the excellent effort of ENGR. VICENTE ANICETO D. RUBIO , MNWD Water Utilities Management Officer A, had continuously preserved the Mt. Isarog National Park at Curry, Pili, Camarines Sur through conservation and sustainability and productivity. Camarines Sur National High School headed by the Principal, Mrs. Nely SB. Abad , support to this noble goal of improving the environment.
CSNHS Science Department through the YES-O supports watershed development project of the Metropolitan Naga Water District by maintaining a three-hectare forest in Mt. Isarog Natural Park. From time to time, faculty members and students visit the area for reforestation, tree planting and tree parenting activities to answer the call for a sustainable development and cope with the adverse effect of global warming.
Green Wave Campaign
Local Youth Join The Green Wave
International Day for Biological Diversity, 22 May 2010
Penafrancia Avenue, Naga City, Camarines Sur Region V, Philippines - On 22 May 2010, the youth of Camarines Sur National High School, City of Naga/ Youth for Environment in Schools Organization of the Science Department joined thousands of young people in creating a global "green wave" to celebrate both the International Day for Biodiversity and the International Year of Biodiversity. All around the world, students, teachers and youth organizations will host and participate in special tree planting celebrations to increase awareness about biodiversity. Locally Camarines Sur National High School, The CSNHS Forest Park Project was officially launched last September 2007 though it really started as early as March 2005. It is a 3-hectare forest park in Mt. Isarog Natural Park maintained by the school in partnership with Metropolitan Naga Water District (MNWD) under their Watershed Development Project. Since the project was conceptualized the denuded area was now partially covered with about 2 to 3 ft narra trees and less than 1 ft local indigeneous trees. Tree planting and tree parenting (maintenance activities) were periodically done.
As part of the Green Wave project, the Youth for Environment in School Organization together with some of Science teachers and their classes visited the area. Loaded with liters of water from the nearby spring, we watered the growing trees hoping that these would later cover the bare area and hold more water and soil for our future children.
While some are watering the plants, some groups are planting the trees we brought from the nursery. These trees were already watered in the nursery before we arrived in the area as part of the routinary measures done by the Mt. Isarog Guardians, the caretakers of the MNWD Watershed.
As planned, today we have planted 1000 indigeneous trees in the area. Next month, we will be back for the tree parenting for these newly planted trees and once more plant more trees. By 2012, we aimed to see green canopy covering the area.
The Green Wave is a project designed to support the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity, the world's international treaty that promotes the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity and the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits derived from genetic resources. The project aims to help raise awareness and educate young people on the loss of biodiversity that is taking place and the need to take action. The "wave" occurs on the International Day for Biodiversity which, this year, focuses on the importance of biodiversity for development and poverty reduction. Each year on 22 May, children and youth in participating schools around the world plant a tree at 10:00am local time, creating a "green wave" across time zones. Participants upload photos and text about their celebration to The Green Wave website to share their stories with others. An interactive map goes live in the evening at 20:10 local time, creating a second virtual "green wave".
Waste management program
Segregation of wastes at source was implemented since 2001 when School Environment and Community Action Team (SCAT) was created in partnership with the Naga City Environment and Resources Office (ENRO). Paper segregation was the focus of the said project. Paper was segregated by color: brown, colored and white. These were then sold for recycling in a junk shop recommended by the City ENRO. The said project was then later managed by the Waste Segregation and Management Committee (WASMC). Segregation at source of biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes was implemented. Two separate trash bins (Yellow for non-biodegradable and Green for biodegradable) are situated in different strategic places in the campus. Classrooms have these two bins also. These wastes are being collected separately by the City Garbage Trucks as scheduled to be brought to the City MRF. School Clubs, Year Level Organizations, and Supreme Student Government were mobilized to form Environmental Enforcers (EE). EE monitored waste segregation in the classroom and in the campus.
Project SAVE (Service Awareness in Valuing our Environment)
When DepEd Memo No. 254 s. 2007 defined YES-O thrusts and activities, segregation of waste was fully implemented school-wide by the club and launched Project SAVE. To promote zero waste, paper (in different colors), newspapers, PET bottles, aluminum cans, other plastics were collected separately and deposited at an area in the ESF Bldg (main campus) and in Liboton Campus to be sold and disposed regularly for recycling in a junk shop recommended by the City ENRO. Sales of materials recovered supported YES-O Environmental Projects. The income generated from the sale is utilized by individual classes and by the YES-O club activities. The fund also assists in realizing year level projects for instructional purposes and physical facilities.
International Coastal Cleanup
The CSNHS Science Department through its student academic and environment club, the Youth for the Environment in School Organization (YES-O) participated in the 25 th International Coastal Cleanup held on September 25, 2010. The activity is an annual environmental event sponsored and advocated by the Ocean Conservancy , a Washington-based non-government organization (NGO) committed on advancing the protection and conservation of the planet's marine ecosystems and resources. This year's Cleanup site in the Province of Camarines Sur was the shorelines of Barangay Sabang in the town of Calabanga .
At about 7:00 AM, the volunteers composed of students, parents and teachers have gathered at the CSNHS Grounds for the registration while the Youth for Environment in School Organization (YES-O) officers were doing last minute preparations for this year's International Coastal Cleanup (ICC) . By around 8:00 AM, the group composed of 336 volunteers on board fourteen (14) passenger jeepneys bound for the Town of Calabanga, Camarines Sur left the city. At 8:30, the CSNHS ICC Volunteers reached Barangay Sabang shorelines where the some Municipal and Barangay Officials together with the ABS-CBN South Luzon News Team were waiting. After a brief instruction and distribution of cleaning materials, the 25 th ICC Volunteers started the work.
As the cleanup commenced, some volunteers spotted a 1-meter long carapace of a marine turtle about one (1) meter long and half a meter wide still coated with its fresh oil. Knowing that it's one of the endangered species, the ABS-CBN News team asked some residents on the matter but no one gave a satisfactory answer. It was found out then, that some fishermen accidentally caught it alive two days earlier, and then dragged it to the shallow waters but it died before reaching the shore. On the premise that it was already dead, they took its flesh for food. They then discarded the carapace on the shore and where the volunteers found it later.
Representatives of the Municipal Waste Management Office of Calabanga were also present to facilitate the hauling and proper disposal of the collected garbage. Counting the number of sacks being loaded into the truck, it totaled to more or less 120 sacks at an average of 15 kilos each sack. At an approximated 10 kilos per sack, we collected about 180 sacks for 3 hours from about a 500-meter shoreline.
At around noontime, the volunteers had finished and completed the task. They then took their lunch and then headed back for Naga City afterwards.
Road Cleanup
Students, teachers and officers of the YES-O and other school clubs (UNESCO, SSG, MATH) participated last September 20, 2010 in the Road Clean-Up which aims to promote cleanliness and orderliness in the school's premises as well as the main street of Penafrancia Avenue, Naga City and to assist the local government of Naga after the Penafrancia Festival. It is also a way to intensify the campaign for the environmental awareness and develop leadership and camaraderie among youth in preserving our natural resources as well as having a strict discipline in imposing rules and regulations in the community regarding the environment.
The event started 6:30 am in the Camarines Sur National High School Liboton Campus and continued on along the Penafrancia Avenue up to the Plaza Quince Martirez. The students picked-up pieces of plastics and other trash left by the people during the Penafrancia Festival. The students altogether gathered almost 10 kilograms of garbage by the time they have arrived in the Plaza. We have finished cleaning the streets about by 10:00 am. and came back to the main campus to share a healthy snacks prepared by the teachers. With the determination and perseverance of all the volunteers, the event was successful.
