B. History of the School

​

          Cielito Zamora High School has its humble beginning. It started from scratch. The school where it is now a product of unique story of heroism and chivalry of men and women who had a deep passion for education. Their dedication, commitment, and sacrifices made school a home for young people and old alike.

​

         The school was established in 1986 with Mrs. Adoracion Ramirez as school head from 1986 - 1991. There were only three levels then: the first year, second year and third year.It only had a total enrolment of 306 with eight teachers. The students were housed in a four-classroom building in the same campus where the elementary building was situated. It was constructed by Cielito Homes developer Mr. and Mrs. Zamora donated to Caloocan government.

​

          In its second year of operation, the enrolment inched by up 20 percent with 10 teachers and with  complete curriculum from first year to fourth year. The school occupied the elementary compound for five years. Mrs. Ramirez whose term lasted for five years was replaced by Mrs.Lucila De Guzman (1991-1994). It was when the Carino building, 2-storey-6 classrooms, was built in front of Baranagay 177. In the same year, the new head teacher Mrs. Clarita Martinez was assigned in the school. From then on, enrolment continued to swell and the 2,028 sq. meter lot of the school was not enough to erect anew building to accommodate students that prompted Mrs. Martinez to look for another school site as an extension. Through the generosity  of Cristina Homes developer (Mr. Bongat), an open space with 6,059 sq meter, (just walking distance from the main campus) was donated to the school, paving the way for the construction of 6-classrooms, 2 storey building in the said area.

​

          When the construction was completed in 1995, the  third year and fourth  year students moved to the new building.

During the stay of Mrs. Martinez, (1992-1996), she introduced different academic reforms and initiated various physical developments that made the school recognized as a performing school offering quality education.

After four fruitful years, Mrs. Martinez was transferred to Pangarap High School and Mr. Juanito Victoria took over as school head from 1996-1999. It was Mr. Victoria who named the main campus as Rizal Campus occupied by the first and second year and the extension school as Bonifacio Campus, occupied by third and fourth year. He also made some progress in improving the facilities  of the school. Among them are: the construction of comfort rooms, audio visual rooms and water deep well. After Mr. Victoria, Mrs. Antonina Tan became the school head the school from 1999 - 2000.

​

          The Division Office officially named the two campuses as CZamora HS Annex I and and CZamora HS II (Annex of the mother school - Camarin High School) when they assigned Dr. Milagros Austria as Officer-in-Charge in Rizal Campus (CZamora I), 2001-2001 and Mrs. Librada C. Telen as Officer-in-Charge of bonifacio Campus(CZamora II). It was in 2001 when two campuses offered complete curriculum (four year levels). Mrs. Violeta Sioson replaced Dr. Milagros Austria and served from 2002-2003. Mr. Joel B. Salvador however became officer-in-charge of CZamora I from 2003-2006 while Mr. Tirso R. Dela Cruz was designated officer-in-charge in CZamora II from 2005 - 2011.

​

          Mr. Salvador was followed by Miss Rebecca B. Dela Cruz who served from 2006 - 2012. It was during the time of Ms. Dela Cruz when the two-storey, four classrooms, Malapitan Building was built in CZamora I. On the other hand, Mr. Dela Cruz was able to work out the construction of three-storey, six classrooms , Recom building in CZamora II.

In 2011, CZamora High School I finally obtained its independence while CZamora II, tough with  more  buildable space for additional building , remained an annex of Camarin High School because of land title problem.

​

          Mr. Dela Cruz was transferred to MB Asisitio Hugh School Unit I in 2011. Years after Ms. Dela Cruz was transferred to LLano High School. Then the principal of Camarin High School Dr. Juanito Victoria became concurrent principal of CZamora HS II while Mrs. Lilia Gundran became principal of CZamora High School I from 2012 - 2014.

​

          In April  2014, the Division Superintendent Mrs. Rita M. Riddle, reassigned Mr. Tirso R. Dela Cruz, as principal of the two schools with the mission to merge in preparation for the full implementation of K12 - Senior High School Program. Mr. Dela Cruz renamed the two schools as they were before - CZamora I as Rizal Campus for Senior High School and CZamora II as Bonifacio Campus for Junior High School.

​

          Mr. Dela Cruz introduced the flagship program of the school "Lukso Cielito 2016"which objective is to pole vault the academic standing of the school, develop potentials of the students  to the fullest and improve basic services. He also designed a special program for the school dubbed as "Talino-Kakayahan-Malasakit"(TKM) program.

The school  never stops making a big difference. The coming of the different administrators and unified effort of the teachers, students, parents and the support of the different stakeholders of the whole school community have made this educational institution great and strong.

​

           At present, the school has a total student population of         with a work force of       teachers, six utility and four security personnel.
