History
editTinago National High Schools’ beginning is traced back on October 25, 2001 when Mayor Jesse M. Robredo instructed Mr. Pablo Marpuri and Mr. Pedro I. Pelonio Jr., the previous principals of Tinago Central School, and Mr. Herman E. Bobis, Education Supervisor I, to conduct a study on the possibility of opening a high school site in the area. The area was positively met by the then Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Amy O. Oyardo, Tinago Barangay Council, and Tinago Central School PTA. After continuous, vigorous and rigorous follow-up, the dream came into fruition when Hon. Edilberto C. De Jesus, the then DepED Secretary approved the application for establishment on September 23, 2002.
The city government of Naga supported the school with legislations ensuring that the institution push through with its educational mission. Enrolment for first year reached 129 in June 2002. The pioneering group was temporarily administered by Camarines Sur National High School. Teachers from the said school were deployed at Tinago National High School.
