Our Story - History of Don Jose M. Ynares Sr. Memorial National High School
The residents of Barangay San Carlos witnessed the birth of a new educational
institution, Don Jose M. Ynares Sr. Memorial National High School (DJYMNHS), in
1998. It was through the concerted efforts of a group of parents, PTCA officers of
different elementary schools, and the assistance of local government and DepEd officials
who envisioned providing a high school accessible to hundreds of students in the area.
In its second year, student population increased to 467, and because of this, DJYMNHS
was allowed to stand as an independent high school. From one-building secondary
school, it was transformed to a big one through the initiative of its new principal Mr.
Virgilio P. Ramos together with his 18 competent faculty.
Dr. Aileen E. Vocal joined the DJYMNHS family in 2004. She pooled resources --
financial, material, and human -- to further improve school facilities, therefore coming up
with a laboratory more conducive to learning. It was during her leadership Ynares IV
building was constructed and completed to cater to the growing needs of its students.
Next to Dr. Vocal was Dr. Maribeth R. De Dios who became the mother of all Don
Joseians for three years. Since her installation on August 1, 2007, she has thought of and
worked on developing and improving the school’s facilities, teachers, and students as
well.
Through Dr. De Dios’ leadership almost all of the facilities students may need in getting
quality education were put in place -- computer laboratory with internet connection,
fully-equipped and functional science laboratory and school library, home economics
laboratory, IA/AA building/shop, guidance office, clinic, and Special Education (SPED)
resource room.
In August 2010, Dr. Maria A. Barrameda took the helm of the school and sailed smoothly
as she focused on continuous faculty development through in-service trainings and
seminars, school facilities improvement such as covered court, SPED transition building
and other facilities, increased students’ performance and discipline. She maintained
transparency and promoted responsibility and accountability by example.
When Dr. Barrameda retired on January 2013, Ms. Judy P. Aralar was appointed as the
school’s officer-in-charge. She continued what her predecessor began, instilled discipline
among students and became a good leader to the teachers as well.
Dr. De Dios came back on September 2013 and continued to lead the school. It was
during her stay when the SPED transition building was completed. However, she was
promoted as education program specialist of Binangonan I and had to leave the school
once more.
Mrs. Razalan, who has been a witness to the humble beginning of DJYMNHS and an
instrument towards its growth, came back on October 2014 to take care of its 81 faculty,
five non-teaching personnel, and 2,483 students. At present, the student population still
grows and the school flourishes.

OUR MANDATE
The Department of Education was established through the Education Decree of 1863 as
the Superior Commission of Primary Instruction under a Chairman. The Education
agency underwent many reorganization efforts in the 20th century in order to better
define its purpose vis-a-vis the changing administrations and charters. The present day
Department of Education was eventually mandated through Republic Act 9155,
otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education act of 2001 which establishes the
mandate of this agency.
