Castillejos National High School is a school located in Castillejos, Zambales, Philippines. It provides education from Grade 7 to 12. Beside the school was the Villafor Elementary School. The school has different clubs that student can join in.
San Agustin Barangay High School(SABHS) was then the only public secondary school in Castillejos way back in 1974 in one of the Barangays in Castillejos, Zambales. Later, it was named San Agustin High School (SAHS) and statistics showed that enrollment gradually increased and recorded 500 students during the school year of 1990. Ten years after, the number of enrolment tripled and the school plant could no longer contain its increasing population, with only eighteen (18) academic classrooms to consider. Further aggravated as a result of wear and tear, the school building dilapidated. Obviously, classroom shortage has now become the main problem and to address this inconvenience, classes were miserably conducted under the trees and makeshift rooms.
In 1999, San Agustin High Schoolwas renamed as Jesus F. Magsaysay High School (JFMHS)and was relocated at barangay San Roque, Castillejos, Zambales where Villaflor Elementary School is also located leaving the old campus to San Agustin Elementary School.The construction and opening of Jesus F. Magsaysay High School became a highlight for the Department of Education in the Division of Zambales. It was so named because it was through the effort of Governor Vicente P. Magsaysay that this infrastructure became a reality. From then on, enrollment continued to flourish as it is today. It continues to provide quality education for all as the basic tool for development and likewise for the improvement of the community.
Education progressed as manifested by the opening of one school after the other. A brainchild of MR. CASTOR M. FERIA, Principal IV; the Jesus F. Magsaysay High School (2002) at Balaybay, (2002), Jesus F. Magsaysay Technical Vocational High School (2006) at Sta. Maria, and the most recent – the re-opening of the San Agustin High School (2008) at San Agustin; all in this town of Castillejos. These schools at present are in full-swing of operation.
To date, the main school has one (1) Principal IV, Sixty (60) Teaching Staff (National Teachers), nine (9) Head Teachers, one (1) Guidance Counselor, two (2) Provincial/ Contractual Teachers, three (3) Non-Teaching Staff and six (6) General Personnel (Utility/Guard) are under the payroll of the PTA and one (1) utility under the schools’ payroll.
At present, the school operates under the name CASTILLEJOS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL (CNHS).Renamed through a resolution passed by the Sangguniang Bayan under the administration of then Mayor of the Municipality, Hon. Wilma Dalit Billman on 2009, dedicating the school to the youths and people of Castillejos.
