I. General Information

Brief History of the School
Barangay Butansapa was established on June 20, 1959 under
Republic Act No. 2370 which served as its legal basis for
existence.

The Butansapa National High School, formerly Butansapa
Rural High School, is one of the six existing public Secondary
Schools in the town of Mogpog serving the people of the
northeastern barangays.
The existence of the school was made possible through the
efforts of Mr. Placido Paras, Ms. Gracia Go and Mr. Nemesio
Leao, the District Supervisor of Mogpog in September 1972.
Classes formally started in June 1973 at the Butansapa
Elementary School with 60 students enrolled in first year. Four full
time provincial teachers and two part time elementary teachers
composed the teaching force in its early operation. They were:
Mrs. Pilar Chua, Ms. Rosario Garcia, Ms. Myrna Lauresta, Ms.
Edna Naling, Mr. Braulio Jardeleza, and Ms. Lilian Luna.
In 1977, BHNS had its first graduates. A 204 sq. m. lot was
donated by Col. Ruperto Molato which is now the present school
site. There are now five regular full time teachers serving the
increasing student population. They are: Mr. Emmanuel Narito
(1978), Mrs. Martina Lubrin (1978), Mrs. Miguela Dole (1978),
Mrs. Emelda Tan Mogol (1978), Mrs. Elsa T. Castillo ((1979),

Congresswoman Carmencita O. Reyes.
Mrs. Aida J. Villaruel was appointed as Principal I of

and Teacher In- Charge for quite sometime already.
