History

In 1906, first year high school classes were established in the Acosta Building, along with elementary grades. The first permanent building, Ilocos Norte Provincial High School, opened in 1909. By 1916, all four levels of high school courses were taught. [9]

A new school building was built in 1929 on the present site of Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades. In June 1941 that building was razed by fire, and classes were subsequently held in the grandstands of the provincial grounds and in local rented houses. After the Japanese occupation was over, the United States aided in the rehabilitation of the building with the Rehabilitation Act of 1946. [2]
