HISTORY
      
	A school at the heart of the town was a dream of Dumanjuganons.The dream almost came into a reality on August of 1996 when an extension class of Bitoon National vocational School was opened right at the town proper . First year students whose residence were Poblacion and surrounding barrios like Sima, looc, Ilaya, Calaboon, Liong, Lawaan, Paculob, and Camboang were pulled from the different first year sections of the Main Campus and were made into one section as first batch of extension campus students. The abandoned old municipal building was used as temporary school building. 
	
	A year after, 1997, first year students population has increased. It reached more than a hundred. Two sections were being made occupying the old municipal treasurers office and the old municipal jail. While the second year was place at the old municipal trial court on the second level.
	
	A Parent Teacher Association comprising more than two hundred parents was then organized making a resolution requesting the local government and Mayor Teodulo Q. Opsima to assist the school to have a school site. It was stipulated on the resolution that the local government thru its chief executive will donate a parcel of its seven hectare owned lot which presently a parcel of it was occupied by the Dumanjug Central School as a school site for the secondary school whenever a school building will be constructed.
	
	The local government officials, the Mayor and the PTCA officials agreed that the aforesaid will only be approved by the Mayor if materials for the building were delivered abd the construction of the building was started. A month after the agreement, the contractor of the Six-Classroom building informed the teachers of the extension campus that the building materials were already delivered and asking when to start and where to build it. Unfortunately, the Mayor did not fulfill his promised instead vetoed the resolution. The agreement was not fulfilled. The 6-CL Building arrived. It was realigned again to the Main Campus due to the disapproval of the Mayor to donate a parcel of the Municipal owned lot as school site.
	
	Classes of the third year classes and fourth year classes were brought to the Main Campus. The old municipal building could no longer accommodate all students from First year level to the Fourth Year levels. Besides, the building is very dilapidated. So, the school operated only First Year Level to Second year level from S.Y. : 1997-1998 to SY:1999-2000. Due to what happened in Basdiot Elementary School in Moalboal, Cebu, Moalboal wherein a Marcos Type building collapsed resulting to the death of one pupil and hurt two others, the officials of the DECS of Cebu Province based on the recommendation of the municipal engineer mandated the teachers and students to vacate the old municipal building to avoid same accident happen.
	
	On SY: 2000-2001, Mr. Casiano Gicale, the District Supervisor of Dumanjug District-I and Mr. Felipe Ombos Jr. the School Principal of DUMANJUG Central School generously accommodated the two classes of the extension campus who vacated from the dilapidated municipal building. The two classes with 61 first year students and 84 second year students have only 3 regular teachers namely: Mrs. Examy Grace Cabonilas, Mrs.Regenette Martin and Mr. Romeo V. Mejia. The two Volunteer teachers were Mrs. Rosalie Auman and Mrs. Evangelina Tagacanao.
