The San Juan National High School (SJNHS) (Filipino: Pambansang Mataas na Paaralan ng San Juan) is a public secondary school in the Municipality of Kalayaan. Located in Real St., Brgy. San Juan, the poblacion, it provides free secondary education for the people of the municipality and neighboring towns with primary aim on secondary basic education.
San Juan National High School was first known as San Juan Community High School, established in 1968. It had a total population of 105 first-year students. Mrs. Celita P. Ramiro (Miss Paner at the time) was the first individual teacher employed under the supervision of the Principal, Miss Aurora Lagrada.
The name of the school was later changed into San Juan Barangay High School when Mr. Pedro Madrazo was elected as the PTA President.
The school’s population increased yearly. Hon. Elpidio Asedillo, elected Municipal Mayor, together with the help of Barangay Captain Pastor Manguiat, improved the structure of the school. The supervision was direct from Pedro Guevara Memorial High School in Sta. Cruz, Laguna, although the assistant principal who at that time was the elementary school principal directly supervised the barangay high school.
The first Assistant Principal was Mr. Enrique Javan. The faculty members increased according to the year level. The additional teachers were: Miss Juana Porcincula (Science, Chemistry and History), Mrs. Estella Salandanan (Filipino), Mrs. Angelita Alonzosana (English and History), Mrs. Natividad Rino (Mathematics) and Mrs. Efipania Queliste (English and Physics). The salaries of the teaching staff of SJBHS were taken from the funds of the local government.
The next Assistant Principal was Miss Eustaquia Oben. More teachers were added to the staff, namely: Mr. Dominador Queliste (Practical Arts and CAT), Mrs. Analyn Dionisio (Home Economics), Mrs. Cherrie Manguiat (Physical Education) and Mrs. Marietta Rabutazo (Physical Education and Filipino). Mrs. Queliste acted as office aide and was in-charge of reports, payroll services and at the same time a liaison officer who took salaries of teachers every quarter.
Mrs. Myrna Kabamalan became the Assistant Principal in 1978. Checking of forms was done in PGMHS.
In 1980’s, there were additional teachers namely: Mr. Antonio Pagalanan and Mr. Roman Rayosa. There were two sections for every year level. For that reason, there was a need for the construction of new buildings. The first three-room building near the town’s medical center was erected. It housed the school’s bulging population and paved way for the whole population to transfer to the new school site. The town’s gymnasium was temporarily converted into classrooms. The Principal then was Mrs. Estella P. Salandanan.
