History

The Bayugan National Comprehensive High School, formerly called Bayugan Municipal Comprehensive High School was conceived in 1975 but came to reality only in April 18, 1980 when Sangguniang Bayan of Bayugan through the initiative and leadership of the Municipal Mayor Vicente P. Encendencia passed a municipal resolution no. 37 creating the said school.

On June 14, 1980, the school opened the first two years of secondary curriculum with one hundred five first year and twenty six second year students and six faculty members. It was opened adjacent to burned old Bayugan Municipal Hospital.

The school has grown tremendously through the years. BNCHS is now the premiere secondary education institution in the city of Bayugan.
