Pampanga High School as a center of excellence

Do you know that Pampanga High School was founded in 1908? The original building was located at the opposite of the Catholic Church of San Fernando. It might interest you to know that the building still exists known today as the Pampanga Hotel.

It was in the year 1912 that the school held its first graduation. From then on up to the present, the school has produced graduates who have excelled in their respective professions. For posterity sake, we share you the Valedictorians and Salutatorians from 1912 to 1962 and they are as follows:
