History
Baloagan is one of the thirty-three barangays which comprises the Municipality of Bula. It is approximately 6.5 kilometers from the town proper and could be reached by land and water transportation. The people are religious, hard-working, peace-loving, and most of all, cooperative. Their main source of living are farming and fishing. Though, majority of them belongto middle bracket in economic status, yet, their concern for education is something to be proud of. This is the very reason which moved them to work together for the opening of a barangay high school.
On June 14, 1976, through the joint efforts of Mrs. Claudia M. Dimasayao, Principal-I of Balaogan Elementary School, the barangay council headed by the Barangay Captain Ricardo Genio, and the people of this community, the secondary school named Balaogan High School was born, which is an answer to the project of the Late President Ferdinand E. Marcos to create secondary school in every barangay of the country in order to provide universal access to basic education and eradicate illiteracy. The school started its first operation in the school year 1976-1977 with fifty-three (53) students and a lone teacher, the Late Juana N. Guaves, as the school head. Balaogan High School temporarily occupied some of the rooms of Balaogan Elementary School, and the Barangay Chapel. When enrolment increased, three teachers were added namely: Mrs. Felisa O. Fibre, Mr. Roman F.Oliver, and Mr. Dominador D. Ama.
With the desire of the Late Virginia N. Canet, Principal of Balaogan Elementary School, to let Balaogan High School live independently, she helped the Teacher-In-Charge, look for a lot donor, and fortunately, the Late Doña Restituta Galicia Hallare donated a half hectare of lot. When her granddaughter was invited to be the guest speaker during a commencement exercises, Dr. Ramon G. Hallare, who was then with her, donated again another half hectare making the school site one hectare. The Balaogan High School Family transferred then to the new school site, with four classrooms made of bamboo and nipa. The school continued to survive and achieved its goals with the full support of the Representative of the 4th Distrist of Camarines Sur, the Late Ciriaco “Boboy” R. Alfelor, the PTCA family, the faculty, students and the community, as well.
