OUR VISION
We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and

As a learner-centered public institution, the Department of Education continuously

OUR MISSION
To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based, and
complete basic education where:
- Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive, safe, and motivating environment
- Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture every learner
- Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling and `
supportive environment for effective learning to happen
- Family, community, and other stakeholders are actively engaged and share
responsibility for developing life-long learners.

MANDATE
The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as
the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a Chairman. The Education agency
underwent many reorganization efforts in the 20th century in order to better define its purpose
vis a vis the changing administrations and charters. The present day Department of Education
was eventually mandated through Republic Act 9155, otherwise known as the Governance of
Basic Education act of 2001 which establishes the mandate of this agency.
The Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies,
plans, programs and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education. It
supervises all elementary and secondary education institutions, including alternative learning
systems, both public and private; and provides for the establishment and maintenance of a
complete, adequate, and integrated system of basic education relevant to the goals of national
development.

As stipulated in the Table 7, the school has twenty seven (27) permanent
teachers. Out of 27, five are male and 22 are female. Mostly have units in Master of
Arts (M.A.). In terms of their teaching experience, majority of the teachers have
more than 10-20 years of teaching experience, five has an experience below 10
years as revealed in Table 7.
This implies that majority of the teachers have already an ample experience
in teaching which is most likely attributed to teachers effectiveness being the key
element in molding the total aspects of the learners as substantiated by the adage,
experience is the best teacher.
However, based on the results of the Teacher Strengths and Needs Assessment
(TSNA) being conducted, it was found out that not all teachers who have already
ample teaching experience performed well in the various Knowledge, Skills, and
Attitude anchored under the specific strand and domain against the National
Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS).
Considering the scenario, teachers training and development of Individual
Plan for Professional Development (IPPD) shall be taken into account in order to
provide them the capability building they need geared towards improving their
teaching competence in all learning areas particularly in ICT.

A.SCHOOL

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL

The existence of Placer National High School started during the term of
Mayor Jesus T. Patio. It was notably in the year 1970 that the former Placer
Municipal High School was born. With further enthusiasm of the populace,
the late Benito L. Hermoso, Jr. was forced to make insistent follow-ups for its
nationalization but failed. Fortunately, Mr. Teofesto C. Arro, Sr. who was then
the principal of Claver National High School and who had the same intention
for Claver came to the rescue.
Sometime in 1982, the two (2) went to Batasang Pambansa to seek
help from the late Congressman Constantino C. Navarro, Sr. To their surprise,

one of them, Mr. Teofesto C. Arro, Sr. was called to stand by the speaker of
the chamber. Hon. Querube Makalintal, in one of the sessions, to speak for
the justification of the need for the nationalization of the two municipal high
schools. As a prize, Republic Act 357, was signed into law on March 21, 1983,
creating Placer National High School as a replacement for the Placer
Municipal High School, another Republic Act number was given to claver
National High School.
In its initial year of existence as a municipal high school, nine (9)
classroom teachers were hired headed by Catalina Romero (part-time
principal) and Mr. Benito L. Hermoso, Jr. (Head Teacher III) utilizing the Doa
Helen Cultural Center and the Municipal Engineering Building for the
classrooms. They were: Mrs. Mercedes P. Dedumo, Mrs. Elisa V. Patio, Mrs.
Lorna Romero Ocampo, Mrs. Teresita Josol, Mr. Clementino Palma, Mrs.
Alejandra Patio, Mrs. Amalia Tiujongco, Ms. Purisa Antido, and Mrs.
Cresencia Patio.
In 1983, same year for its nationalization, thru the collective efforts of
the local officials and educational leaders, a six hectares campus located at
Barangay Magsaysay of this municipality was acquired to build more
classrooms for the growing school population coming from the nearby towns
and feeder barangays. The first principal, Dr. Elvira A. Egay, was the forefront
of this endeavor.

In its long years of existence, several school managers handled it. They
were as follows, to wit:
Dr. Elvira A. Egay
Melania M. Rivero
Asterio C. Eslao
Benito L. Hermoso, Jr.
