Brief History

The Palo National High School had its humble and significant beginning way back in the year 1993 - 1994 exactly during the second term of Congressman Cirilo "Roy" Montejo of the First District of Leyte. It is a public knowledge that Palo, a first class municipality do not have a public high school right in the poblacion, and upon knowing its significant fact, the Honorable Congressman sponsored a bill in the Philippine Congress for the creation of a public high school to give way to the less previledge and poor but deserving student, of their desire for a higher and quality education, and luckily the bill was approved and that Palo National High School is now a reality.

It started with three sections in the first year with a total enrolment of 157 students, with four teachers directly supervised by the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Catalina G. Daffon.

Two sections were permanently housed in the newly constructed two room building and the other section temporarily occupied a room owned by Palo Central School. By June 1994 this school will observe its first founding anniversary.
