Brief History of PRESIDENT MANUEL A. ROXAS MEMORIAL SCHOOL SOUTH - A Living Heritage of Capiceños -One Century After

June 17, 2008

    Capiceños are great lovers of education. From the enception of American rule, when popular eduction was free to evrybody, a demand for schools was felt in almost all the towns in the province.

    As early as the ninetieenth century period when the AMericans governed our country, the people of the town of Capiz, now Roxas City, was among the first to put up schools in the entire province. The first pupils were accommodated in the so-called Spanish building way back 1905 where the PNB is now situated. this was called Capiz Elementary which housed quite a number of elementary school children living within the vicinity in the town of Capiz.

    In the passing years, the school population increased and a bigger school site is needed so the school authorities had to acquire a site in 1912, a Gabaldon Type school building was erected - the pressent site where PRESIDENT MANUEL A. ROXAS MEMORIAL SCHOOL SOUTH now occupies is at Arnaldo Boulevard, Roxas City.
