Castillejos National High School was the former San Agustin High School located in San Agustin, Castillejos. But it was move to San Roque,Castillejos and newly named Jesus F.

Beside it was the Villaflor Elementary School. You can found the Ramon Magsaysay Technological University in the school campus.
A major thrust of the Provincial Government is the strengthening of the educational foundation of the province. Accompanying the manpower and financial support by the Provincial School Board, chaired by the Governor, the province’s infrastructure program invests heavily in the provision of school buildings for elementary, high school and university students. Jesus F. Magsaysay High School in Castillejos served as the pilot infrastructure project in education. Following its success is the construction of three more high school buildings found in Sta. Cruz, Iba and Subic. A fourth high school building catering to a maximum of 3,000 students is also being constructed in the municipality of San Antonio. A breakthrough program of infrastructure is the construction of the Govic School of Nursing building at the Ramon Magsaysay Technological University in Iba. These educational building constructions respond to the country’s perennial problem of classroom shortage. Gov. Vic Magsaysay’s support to education infrastructure is a manifestation of the province’s desire to continuously maintain a high level of functional literacy among Zambalenos.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“The thing that struck me forcefully was the feeling of great age about the place. Standing on that old parade ground, which is now a cricket field, I could feel the dead generations crowding me. Here was the oldest settlement of freedmen in the Western world, no doubt. Men who had thrown off the bands of slavery by their own courage and ingenuity. The courage and daring of the Maroons strike like a purple beam across the history of Jamaica.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
