Still under Mrs. Denampo's reign, it was renamed Minglanilla School of the Future. In 1998, when Mrs. Denampo was promoted, Mrs. Rosita Sanico took over, and it was in her time that the high school and elementary department were separated.

Lofranco was promoted as science supervisor hence Ms. Evangelina C. Largo took charge of the administration as school caretaker. Then in 1996, Mrs. Eutiquia Alday took over the administration.
