History
editThe school opened in 1980 after the Silay City National High School had transferred beside it. The school started as an extension class of Silay South Elementary School with five teachers initially hired. In 1980, there was a move that made the school as an independent one, and was renamed to Don Eustaquio Hofileña Memorial Elementary School. The first principal was Mrs. Mutya Jaranilla Arceo. The school served as an alternative academe for excess classes and enrollment from other institutions like Silay North Elementary School, Silay South Elementary School and Governor Emilio Gaston Memorial Elementary School.
Present
editThe buildings and rooms are old and mostly need repair, yet those are still usable. The school is painted with Orange and Yellow; the theme colors of the school.
