Polangui General Comprehensive High School (PGCHS) is the flagship secondary school of the municipality of Polangui in the province of Albay. It has an average population of 4,000 students. PGCHS has seven present curricula. It is located along the Buhi-Polangui Road at Purok Earth, Centro Occidental, Polangui, Albay; having a total service area of 48,708 square meters. It is 39.1 kilometers away from the Department of Education (DepEd) Albay Division Office.
PGCHS is a cluster center for all private and public schools in the municipalities of Polangui, Oas, Libon, the city of Ligao and Bato, Camarines Sur. It is also one of the 54 regional leader schools in the country. It serves as a center for training and development of materials and staff in Home Management, Information Technology, Communication Arts, Sciences, and Social Studies.
Polangui General Comprehensive High School began as the Albay High School of Polangui (AHSP). It was one of four high schools in the province of Albay when it opened in 1948. The others were Albay High School–Guinobatan (now Marcial O. Rañola Memorial School), Albay High School (now Bicol University College of Education Integrated Laboratory School), and Albay High School–Tabaco (now Tabaco National High School). The initial enrollment was 234 students, with nine teachers, a clerk, and a janitor. Mr. Sisenando Reantaso was the school's first principal.
AHSP held classes in the municipal building and a rented house for about two years. Following that, it purchased property in Barangay Centro Occidental, on the Buhi-Polangui provincial road leading to Barangay Lidong. The site was a 66,607 square meter lot purchased from Mr. Eleuterio Basquiez with funds raised by the PTA through municipal council representation in accordance with Resolution No. 76 passed on August 14, 1953. On September 3, 1953, the Provincial Government validated the sale through Resolution No. 141.
Under the authority of Resolution No. 93 approved November 13, 1956 by the municipal council of Polangui, duly certified and concurred with by the Division Superintendent of Schools, Pastor Escalante, on February 12, 1959, 17,899 square meters (Lot 2) provided campus for the School for Philippine Craftsmen (now Bicol University Polangui Campus).
Mrs. Aurora R. Encisa was the principal from 1963 to 1980. On June 18, 1964, President Diosdado P. Macapagal signed Republic Act 3993 into law, converting AHSP into Polangui General Comprehensive High School (PGCHS), a national secondary school. The "new" school was modeled after comprehensive high schools in Detroit, Michigan, United States. Mrs. Encisa was also in charge when PGCHS held its first extension classes in Ponso, Polangui in 1965.
Oas opened extension classes during the 1972–1973 school year. The latter was phased out in 1984 to make way for the establishment of the Oas Polytechnic School. In 1978–1979, an extension school was established in Balogo. Another extension school was established in La Medalla, Polangui, in 1991.
PGCHS has nearly 4,500 students, 142 regular teachers and employees, two librarians, a school nurse, a five-man security unit, a five-man janitorial and messengerial team, and an accounting, clerical, and property office with six employees, one driver, contractual and casuals.

As embodied in the PGCHS Educational Development Plan, the PGCHS works to continue promoting the objectives of elementary education, discover and enhance the interests of the students, and to utilize not only the formal methods but also the non-formal methods of delivery of educational services.
The school's present curriculum is based on the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum (K-12 BEC). The implementation of the program is pursuant to Republic Act (RA) 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 signed by President Benigno Aquino III on May 15, 2013.
The overall design of Grades 1 to 12 curriculum follows the spiral approach across subjects by building on the same concepts. Teachers are expected to use the spiral/progression approach in teaching competencies. As early as elementary, students learn in areas such as Biology, Geometry, Earth Science, Chemistry, and Algebra. [1]
