OLONGAPO CITY NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

     Olongapo City National High School (OCNHS) was established in 1946, the time when Filipinos were at the height of rehabilitation from World War II.  It started  as the  Reservation High School  with  an  initial  enrolment  of  320  students  under the United  States  (US) Naval  Reservation Administration.  The growth and development of the school runs parallel with the growth and development of the city of Olongapo.  The school was later turned-over to the Republic of the Philippines by virtue  of  RP-US base agreement in 1954, and was renamed Olongapo High School.  By virtue of Executive Order number 336 issued by President Carlos P. Garcia the school was reconverted to a municipal school under the division of Zambales.   It later became a provincial high school in 1962. When Congressman Ramon Magsaysay worked for the approval of Republic Act 4645 converting Olongapo into a chartered city on June 1, 1966, the school was renamed Olongapo City High School. It became a national high school on September 2, 1972, carrying its present name.
