BRIEF HISTORY


 * The establishment of Sta. Cruz High School (formerly a barangay high school) in 1980 was a joint effort of the Barangay Council of Sta. Cruz and the Sangguniang Bayan of Canaman, Camarines Sur.


 * In her brief feasibility study of the proposed high school, Miss Remedios N. Tayag, then the elementary school principal of Canaman Central School, cited the fact that at least seven elementary schools would serve as feeders of the proposed high school. About 2,000 pupils were enrolled in the said schools. Likewise, the need to open a high school was supported by the fact that the nearest school offering secondary education were all situated in Naga City, which is about six kilometers away from Canaman.


 * During the special session on May 10, 1980, on motion presented by Barangay Councilman Angeles Salinas, the Barangay Council of Sta. Cruz passes Resolution No. 1, s.1980, requesting the Regional Director of the Ministry of Education and Culture to approve the opening of a barangay high school at Sta. Cruz, Canaman, Camarines Sur, starting with first year level effective school year 1980-1981. Signatories to the resolution were Barangay council secretary Edmundo Nepomuceno and Barangay Captain Benito Salcedo.


 * On May 24, 1980, the Sannguniang Bayan of Canaman passed resolution No. 45 s. 1980 requesting the Regional Director of the Ministry of Education and Culture to approve the opening of the school. An initial amount of 15,000 was appropiated from the general fund as municipal aid to the proposed high school. The resolution was duly signed by Amelia R. Gervas, secretary and Damaso R. Requejo, Municipal Mayor of Canaman.


 * On June 14, 1980, the Barangay Council of Sta. Cruz passed resolution No. 3 s. 1980, commiting to underwrite 10 percent of the annual budget for the proposed school.


 * Shortly thereafter, the regional director of the Ministry of education and Culture, Andres M. Fonacier, approved the operation of Sta. Cruz High with MEC Permit No. 20 dated June 20, 1980. Thus, the dream of the people of Sta. Cruz was finally realized.


 * During its infancy period, Sta. cruz Barangay High School was allowed to use some of the buildings of Canaman Central School which is located in the barrio of Sta. Cruz. In 1981the school was allowed to occupy the three rooms of the New Bayanihan School building and one room of the RP-US Bayanihan at the annex school site of Canaman central School. in these buildings, two classes began its operation in the same year.


 * Pending the acquisition of eight-hectare school site promised by the town of Canaman, the school shared with facilities of the host school. In 1989, the town of Canaman through Mayor Jose B. Adolfo, donated a lot with 9,763 square meters. Although this was a far cry from the eight hectares promised by the local government of Canaman, the school, converted to a nationalized high school could have its own campus.From then on, the school began to acquire its own facilities.
