History

Occidental Mindoro State College was established as Barrio High School in 1966. The idea that the school should be shaped after Pedro Orata’s Barangay High School was conceived by then Mayor Juan G. Santos Sr., who was also the PTA President of San Jose Pilot Elementary School. The concept was carried out by Sofronio Fadre, Schools Division Superintendent, and Mariano Ramirez, East District Supervisor. Mayor Tirso Abedela approved Resolution No. 23 in 1967, establishing the self-supporting public secondary school as San Jose Municipal High School. [3]

Elevation to State College

San Jose Municipal High School was elevated to San Jose National High School (SJNHS) by Republic Act No. 6568, sponsored by Congressman Nene Sato. Bernabe Macaraig was appointed as the school's first principal. Upon the school's elevation, attendance exceeded 3,000 students.

SJNHS has elevated again to Occidental Mindoro State College on 24 June 1983. This was due by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 531 as amended by Republic Act No. 9747, which was sponsored by Congressman Pedro T. Mendiola Sr. The first superintendent of the school was Macaraig.

Mamburao campus and service areas

Education, Culture and Sports Minister, Lourdes R. Quisumbing appointed Virginia A. Sicat, who was then assistant principal of the OMSC, as officer-in-charge of the institution on 1 April 1986. Ofelia A. Rebong was also appointed as the first president of the college in the same year. Rebong's term was seven years long and staff development was infocus during this period.

OMSC expanded in the 1991-92 school year, with the absorption of Occidental Mindoro Community College in Mamburao by the state college. The community college became a satellite campus of the OMSC and became known as the OMSC-Mamburao Campus, which offers baccalaureate and non-degree courses. A 98.8725 hectares (244.319 acres) plot owned by the Organization for the International Scientific and Cultural Advancement (OISCA) was also acquired by the state college through the Provincial Board and Provincial Development Council.

Sofronio S. Sanqui was appointed college president on 19 December 1994 and sworn into office on 29 December, the same year, by DECS Secretary Ricardo T. Gloria, after the retirement of Rebong. Sanqui was the vice president for Academic Affairs and dean of the Graduate School before his appointment. Sanqui focused on human resource development and student development.

The state college established the following service areas in San Jose, Occidental Mindoro:

Expansion within San Jose

In the year 2000, by virtue of Republic Act 8760 (also known as the General Appropriations Act) significant reforms were brought about in the educational system, specifically to OMSC. It became the host to CHED-supervised institutions in the province, namely the Occidental Mindoro Polytechnic College (OMPC) in Murtha, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro and the Pedro T. Mendiola Sr. Memorial Technological and Polytechnic College in Brgy. Bagong Sikat, San Jose, Occidental Mindoro. With the integration, OMPC became known as the OMSC-OMPC Campus, while the PTMSMTPC was renamed to OMSC-PTMSMTPC and is now situated at the Labangan Campus.

After 15 years of sterling and dedicated service to the Institution, Sofronio S. Sanqui, the second college president, retired. He was replaced by Arnold N. Venturina, when the Board of Trustees of the College elected him on 11 September 2009. With the change of administration, several significant changes in the programs and policies of the college were also enforced.

Three months to Venturina’s presidency, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed RA 9747, also known as an “Act renaming Occidental Mindoro National College as the Occidental Mindoro State College”, on 10 November 2009, whose principal sponsor was Congresswoman and Deputy Speaker, Amelita C. Villarosa.

On 1 May 2010, the college was conferred the “San Jose Builders Award (Education Sector)" by the San Jose Centennial Commission. This was in recognition of its significant contributions to the progress and development of the town of San Jose.
