Ilocos Norte National High School Over the years, the Ilocos Norte National High School (formerly Ilocos Norte High School) has nobly written its own history --- a gradually developed history. This storied past started with the organization of a first year class in 1906 which was housed with the elementary grades in the Acosta Building. A second year class was created in 1909, followed by a third year class in 1910 and finally the complete high school course was offered in 1916 --- exactly ten years after the establishment of the first year. The first permanent building called the Ilocos Norte Provincial High School was completed in 1909, two years after the Honorable Provincial Board appropriated the necessary funds to cover expenses incurred. This structure is now the Related-Subjects-Building of the Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades. To provide adequate facilities for an expanded school population, a new school building was created in 1929 in an adjacent site where now stands the Ilocos Norte National High School. unfortunately, the building was razed by fire one summer night in June, 1941, so that the next school year, classrooms were improvised in the grandstands in the provincial Grounds and in several rented houses in the vicinity. During the war years of the Japanese occupation, there were two separate buildings – the Boys’ High School and the Girls’ high School. In 1946, the destroyed building was rehabilitated with the aid of the United States under the Rehabilitation Act of 1946.
