The Oriental Mindoro National High School (OMNHS) is the flagship campus and the largest public high school in Oriental Mindoro. It was established in 1921 and is located in San Vicente East, Calapan City. It offers high school education from first year to fourth year. The school is headed by Dr. Nimrod Bantigue. It was formerly named Oriental Mindoro High School and Jose J. Leido, Jr. Memorial National High School.
OMNHS, or Lemnahis as it is affectionately called, caters to a total of 5,264 students comprising 1,502 freshmen, 1,358 sophomores, 1,246 juniors and 1,258 seniors. Its faculty comprises 185 teaching staff and 33 non-teaching personnel within 119 classrooms on 11 hectares (27 acres) enclosed fields.
Oriental Mindoro National High School is known for its exemplary performance in the fields of academics. It is one of the southern Tagalog region's leading institutions of secondary learning specializing in mathematics, science and technology, English and Filipino subjects. Its students are known to be somg of the toughest in Region IV. OMNHS is also famous for its good physical education instructors, and the school's athletes have joined and won competitions all over the Philippines and abroad.
Year sections are divided between the Special Science Classes (SSC, also known as the Star Sections) which is composed primarily of academically excellent and intelligent students, and the Regular Sections, which comprise the majority of the students.
Special Science Classes is OMNHS' version of the Philippine Science High School's education system due to the absence of the latter's branch in Mindoro. It adopts and conforms with PSHS's standards, and the Department of Science and Technology has its own building and laboratories inside the campus. Special Science classes generally take two to three additional subjects such as Advanced Journalism, Elective Science, or a course in Research in addition to the normal subjects normally taken by ordinary average students in lower sections. Honor students are also selected from the Special Science classes.
As of a 2008 Faculty and Students interview, there are seven SSC sections for freshmen and sophomores, five for juniors and four for seniors.
On 2004, Neil Everett B. Elpusan was awarded one of the Ten Outstanding Boy Scouts of the Philippines.
