SCHOOL PROFILE
Mabinay National High School was established in 1972. It was first named as Mabinay Municipal High School. It was first headed by Mr. Ricardo Tan
being the district supervisor. Some elementary teachers at that time also handled classes in this high school. The lot used by the school was
donated by the Municipality of Mabinay to the Department of Education. The school has a land area of 32,778 sq.m. that has recently accommodated
32 classrooms. The school does not have enough space for gardening and other activities of the TLE- Plant Production. However, the teachers are
creative enough to have implemented pot gardening / urban gardening. Mabinay National High School is implementing the Revised Basic Education
Curriculum for the third and fourth year levels and K to 12 Basic Education for grade VII and VIII for school year 2013-2014 until such time the
K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum will be fully implemented.
Mabinay National High School is also catering special education students specifically the hearing impaired. The class is now on its fourth year of
implementation. There are eight subjects in the R-BEC and still 8 subjects in the K to 12 Basic Education curriculum. However, time allotment and
grading system in the current curriculum greatly vary from the previous one especially with the inclusion of the Independent Cooperative Learning.
Moreover, the grading system is quite different. ICT integration is on its full implementation. The school is also implementing the Alternative Delivery
Mode using the EASE Modules for Students At Risk of Dropping-Out.
Mabinay National High School is headed by a Secondary School Principal 1 and supported by 53 teaching personnel and 3 non-teaching staff who
are all nationally-funded. Teacher aides and school aides are also supporting the school’s operation and their honoraria are taken from the Local
Government Unit of Mabinay. The school is an implementing unit. Cash allocations are received, disbursed and directly managed at the school level.
Personal services, MOOE and other funds are directly downloaded to the school’s account; thus, authorizing the principal to exercise fiscal autonomy.
Teachers have been trained at the school, district, division, regional and national levels. Although for higher training activities, all the personnel
could not be sent at one time, yet, as much as possible, everybody is given a chance. Enrollment as reflected in the School Report Card has
been increasing for the last 2 years.
