History The school was created under Resolution No.2 series of 70 of Association of Barrio Councils (ABC ) order to accomodate the increasing number of elementary graduates from the different barangays of the Municipality of Asuncion. The resolution was subsequently approved by the Department of Educationm Culture and Sports (DECS) pursuant to R.A 6054, otherwise known as the Barrio High School Chapter. The school was then named Asuncion Community High School. In its first year of operation in June 1971, one classroom of the Cambanogoy Central Elementary School served as its temporary shelter with Mrs. Lina D. Buenaflor as its first lone teacher assigned to a class of 45 freshmen. Mr. Jose Baldonado,Sr., the principal then of Cambanogoy Central Elementary School, was designated as the new high schools first administrator. A year after, the task of upscaling the operation of the school became one of the top priorities of the municipal government, hence it was renamed Asuncion Municipal High School. In 1974, Mr. Jose Baldonado, Jr., was appointed as its Head Teacher and served in the same capacity until 1981 when he was succeeded by the dynamic Mrs. Lina D. Buenaflor. From the time of its inception, it took almost two decades before the school was finally transferred to its present six-hectare site less than a kilometer away from the town center. In 1988, the same year when R.A 6655, otherwise known as Free Secondary Education Act was implemented, it was elevated to the status of a national academic institution and was renamed Asuncion Nationla High School. The schools first ten years of operation was a true test of survival since it thrived solely on the tuition fees collected from students by the municipal treasury. The strong determination of its founders and supporters and their deep commitment to the vision of provinding secondary education to the youth of the municipality had propelled the school into what it is today.
