SCHOOL PROFILE
Rimos National High School traces its origin from the former Sto. Rim Barangay High School in 1977.
The school was then housed at Rimos Elementary School. It began with two (2) teachers and 30 students with
Mrs. Zenaida Magalong as the school head. A rapid increase of students enrolled in the school in its first two
years of operation.
Two years after, a resolution was passed by the municipal council with the consent of the PTA
President of the elementary school that Sto. Rim Barangay High School be converted to Luna Municipal High
School- Rimos Annex. With the helping hands of all concerned headed by the principal Mr. Alexander Bautista,
they worked for the nationalization of the Luna Municipal High School and its annexes through Parliamentary
Bill No. 1631 by then Congressman Joaquin Ortega.
The school transferred to its current location in 1998 after a resolution which prompted the provincial
government to allocate Php 85,000.00 under the Special Education Fund (SEF) for the payment of 6, 500 sq.m.
school lot. A building with two (2) classrooms was put up by the administration.
After the retirement of Mrs. Magalong as the school head, Mrs. Remedios C. Nelmida was installed as
the Officer-in-Charge for the school year 2017-2018. During her term, the separation of the school from its
mother school, Luna National High School kicked off. This was made possible through the efforts and
cooperation of the teachers, Brangay Officers of the different catchment areas of the school and Municipal
Official of Luna, La Union.
By virtue of a Special Order dated May 29, 2018, Mr. Rodel O. Miniano assumed into office as the
new Officer-in-Charge of the school effective June 4, 2018. Immediately after his assumption, the new school
head set long-range goals and objectives that are projected to raise the level of development both of the faculty
and the students.
Furthermore, he continued to process the separation of the school and on September 4, 2018, the school
finally gained its own identity and was renamed RIMOS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL effective School Year
2018-2019.
The school is composed of 14 dynamic and effective teachers and one Administrative Assistant II. It
offers quality basic secondary education (Junior High School and Senior High School) to some 344 students.
With regards to facilities, it is composed 12 instructional classrooms, one faculty room, one Office of the School

Head, one Computer Room and a pavilion. However, it lacks basic facilities and amenities like library, Science
Laboratory Room, TLE Laboratory Room, clinic, guidance office, audio visual room, benches and study kiosks
among others. But despite the absence of these facilities and amenities, the people behind RNHS face these as
challenger to go beyond what is expected of them as molders of the youth.
GEOGRAPHICAL SITE
Rimos National High School is located at the northern part of the town about three (3)
kilometers away and it is situated near the coastline. The nearest public elementary school (Sto.
Domingo Elementary School) is .500 km away; the nearest private secondary school (Sta. Catalina
Academy) is 3 km away; and the nearest public secondary to RNHS is Luna National Vocational
To reach the District Office, one would take a motorcycle or a tricycle for about 5 minutes. If
one intends to report to La Union Schools Division Office, one has to take a jeepney since it is about
32 km away.

COVID-19
On 31 December 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) was alerted to a cluster of
pneumonia patients in Wuhan City, Hubei Province of China. One week later, on 7 January 2020,
Chinese authorities confirmed that they had identified a novel (new) corona virus (COVID-19) as the
cause of the pneumonia.
Epidemiological evidence shows that COVID-19 can be transmitted from one individual to
another. During previous outbreaks due to other corona viruses, including Middle-East Respiratory
Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and the severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus
(SARS-CoV), human-to-human transmission most commonly occurred through droplets, personal
contact, and contaminated objects (fomites). The modes of transmission of COVID-19 are likely to be
similar.
The precise zoonotic (animal) origin of the COVID-19 is stil uncertain. The virus has been
identified in environmental samples from a live animal market in Wuhan, and some human cases have
been epidemiologically linked to this market. Other coronavirus, such as, SARS and MERS, are also
zoonotic, and can be transmitted from animals (civet cats and dromedary camels, respectively) to
humans.
On January 20, 2020, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the Philippines in a 38-year-
old, female, Chinese national. Immediate case investigation and contact tracing was conducted. Her
companion, a 44-year-old, male, Chinese national became PUI and admitted in the same hospital. He
was positive for COVID-19 and died on 1 February 2020. The third confirmed case was reported on 5
February 2020. She was a 60-year-old, female, Chinese national. All confirmed cases had travel
history to Wuhan City.
On 30 January 2020, WHO declared that the outbreak of COVID-19 constitute a Public
Health Event of International concern. This a call to action for all countries to be prepared for
containment, including active surveillance, early detection, isolation and case management, contact
tracing and prevention of further spread.
