Fatima National High School (April 1991-present)

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND'''

Based from the philosophy that every citizen should have an equal access to basic education, Fatima National High School was established as an annex of General Santos City High School along with three other annexes to bring education right on doorsteps of the clientele. Its establishment was due to the concerted efforts of the Barangay Captain and its council, retired Schools Division Superintentent Constancia Q. Hintay Ed.D., Mrs. Cristina N. Mari, Mr. Ruben M. Aquino and parents in the community.

The school is located in the center of Barangay Fatima, a relocation area, nine kilometers from the heart of the city. Its area is four hectares, more or less with an initial enrollment of 291 students in first year and second year and seven teachers ( five borrowed from General Santos City High School and two PTCA- paid). The school started its first year operation in June, 1991.

The students and the faculty were housed in the two- storey building abandoned by the defunct Human Settlement under a memorandum of agreement between the School Administrator and the Office of the General Services of the City Government. From thence, the school had made long stride in its development.

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

During the first three years of the operation of the school, the physical development was almost entirely dependent on the parent's contribution. The make shift classrooms attached to the two- story building were erected to accommodate incoming students. On the third year operation, four classrooms were put up under the supervision of the head of the school at a minimal cost of Php 147,000.00 funded by PTCA. In 1994, another five classrooms were put at the tune of Php 187,000.00. Because the school administrator managed the construction with the help of the PTCA president, the labor cost was only around 10%.

From 1994, school buildings came in rather fast through the effort of then Mayor. Hon. Adelbert W. Antonino. To date, there are 42 classrooms funded by the local and national government, including of that from PTCA. All these buildings are well arranged except one following the development plan. One thing that the school can be proud of in spite of scarcity of resources , the administration was able to fence the perimeter at least with hog wire and bard wire fastened to a cemented post fabricated by Technology and Home Economics teachers and students. Along with this fence, narra, mahogany and neem tree grow majestically serving as break. On the west side of the site, 124 grafted mangoes are grown, after a year of care give a promise of income for the school.
