BANGUED, Abra,- Another extension of the Abra High School, the province’s primary national high school, will be opened this school year in order to decongest the main campus in located within the Bangued town proper

Provincial Governor Eustaquio P. Bersamin reported that repairs and expansion of facilities are now underway in the Calot Elementary School to accommodate the students who are interested to go to Brgy. Calot, Bangued for their secondary education.

The Abra High School (AHS) had earlier established its first extension in Brgy. Mudeng, La Paz. The establishment of the extension in La Paz was then inspired by the great number of students coming from La Paz and its neighboring towns and barangays of Bangued located across the Abra River which had become isolated during the rainy season.

As of the last school year, AHS Main Campus in Bangued had more than 2,400 students while the Mudeng Campus had more than 500 students.

With the increasing number of prospective enrollees in the main campus, given the limited number of classrooms and area for possible expansion, the AHS is constrained to establish additional extension. Brgy. Calot was specifically identified as a conspicuous place as it would cater to the needs of the people in the southern part of Bangued which are very far from the main campus.

Meanwhile, Assistant Schools Division Superintendent concurrent Principal of the AHS, Mr. Francis Cesar Bringas, clarified queries from the public regarding the schedule of enrolment in the AHS. He said old students are already considered enrolled though they still need to confirm their enrolment for this coming school year.
Incoming first year students, on the other hand, will start their enrolment on May 23 until the opening of classes in June. The students should be accompanied by their parents to be able to participate in the Brigada Eskwela which is the clean-up activities in the public schools.

Bringas further explained that even if the incoming first year students have earlier registered last January, 2011, they still need to confirm their enrolment. (JDP/MTBB-PIA CAR,Abra)
