History
PUP Unisan, formerly PUP Technical School-Unisan, was conceived in 1986 with some local officials who wanted to establish a school in Unisan as their contribution to the welfare of the out-of-school youth.
PUP Unisan was established in 1987 as a vocational-technical school offering short-term courses such as secretarial, fashion, food technology, automotive, refrigeration, radio & TV and practical electricity. Without a building of its own, the branch used the old Gabaldon building of Unisan Central while a new building with three classrooms was constructed in 1988. The OIC at that time was Prof. Visitacion D. Abrigo from Sta. Maria, Bulacan. She was assisted by another faculty member from the university, Prof. Violeta L. Ratcho, acting as the Academic Head and Registrar.

Prudente. In June 1991, the branch registered 65 qualified freshmen to its two-year ladderized course leading to the Bachelor of Business Education.
