They met to thresh out the needed paper requirements for opening the school. Sometime in the first quarter of 1972, the school was born bearing the name of Eduardo A. Barretto Sr. Memorial School with 64 enrollees. The class schedule was from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The pioneer teachers handling the subjects came from the Eduardo A. Barretto Sr. Elementary School. They served as part time teachers. The legal ground of the school’s existence was anchored under the Barrio Charter. Mr. Rodolfo M. Pisigan Sr., being the principal of Eduardo A. Barretto Sr. Elementary School then, became the first assistant principal as provided under the provisions of the Barrio Charter. Now later, Mr. Pisigan was promoted to other school. Mr. Felix Apigo took over the helm and acted as assistant principal. It was during Mr. Apigo’s time that the school turned out its first batch of graduates of only 23. Mr. Apigo retired from the service after serving more than five years. He was replaced by Mrs. Hilaria Molinyawe who came from other school. After more than three years, Mrs. Molinyawe was promoted to other school. Mrs. Alicia V. Llamas got the position vacated by Mrs. Molinyawe. Mrs. Llamas stayed longer than any other assistant principals. When Mrs. Llamas was promoted, Mrs. Irlanda Morales took over the vacant post until the appointment of Mr. Ernesto D. Lindo as Teacher Incharge in 1988. Mr. Lindo is the longest school head who served the school, starting from Teacher Incharge to Principal I. After serving more or less 24 years as school administrator, Mr. Lido was promoted to Principal II of Calamba Bayside National High School. Mrs. Casimira G. Reyes became the principal after his promotion. Mrs. Reyes retired from the service on Nov 1, 2012.
