HISTORY

September 06, 2008, a decade ago, an extreme landslide occurred that caused severe casualties to some residents of Barangay Masara, Maco, Compostela Valley. This destructive calamity made the main road unpassable for days. In time, due to the said incident, the local residents had been cut off and this brought fear and traumatized the locals. Most had left and resettled to neighboring barangays, municipalities and other places. There are few who chose to stay and settle bravely at Masara Elementary School (MES) one of the nearby institutions. The said place was considered as “THE EVACUATION CENTER”

Masara Elementary School (MES) became HOME for many families for years. It anchored and sheltered them from fear and trauma brought by the tragedy. It provides protection and security to those who stayed. It became a safety place for all of them during that time.

December 04, 2012, Typhoon Pablo completely surprised Compostela Valley Province and the rest of the Provinces were affected by the typhoon. It was another traumatic disaster suffered by the residents. Many lives were lost during the disaster.

When Typhoon Pablo beats Barangay Masara with its Signal No. 3. Masara Elementary School once again became the safe place for the affected residents. The school is being situated in an elevated area. The school stabled facilities like classrooms and mini gym that serves as their shelter during the Typhoon Pablo. No casualties and injuries among the residents of Masara were recorded but there are minimal damaged properties such as electrical connections. Again, the School became their shelter where they can start building their hope and able to recover.

As time went by, Barangay Masara were able to recover and develop slowly. As a popular saying “There’s no place like Home” and it is where their source of income as a local mining company exists and operates in the said place. This is one of the reasons why many local residents who went away came back and lived here again.

When APEX Mining Company Inc. flourished, people within the municipalities progressively increased, settled and got employed there. Due to household increased and number of children that adds up to the population of the barangay eventually demands educational support from neighboring schools to cater and to provide education for the children. Some went to Elizalde Elementary School, Elizalde National High School, Tagbaros Elementary School, Teresa Elementary School and New Leyte National High School-Teresa Annex. These schools provided education to the students.

It started with some reported incident of students falling from jeepneys and other service vehicles while on route to school and going home, parents started to worry for their children’s safety and welfare, and their transportation expenses.

Eventually, demands from parents to re-open Masara Elementary School to be accessible for their children. Due to high regards of the Council Members who were mostly Alumni of MES who became instruments to initiate the re-opening of Masara Elementary School.

Realizing all of the desired plans weren’t that easy.  It was slow-going due to the demands of pertinent papers needed to accomplish for the operation of re-opening the school. The Department of Education (DepEd), Provincial Local Government Unit (PLGU), Mines and Geo-sciences Bureau (MGB), National Commission on Indigenous People (NCIP), BTCL and most especially the Barangay Local Government Unit (BLGU) with their full support and effort the Elementary and Secondary Extension Schools came through. It became the extensions of the main schools of Tagbaros Elementary School and New Leyte National High School. Originally, only Grades 1 to 4 were re-opened but eventually it now made Pre-school to Grade 10.

Finally, all plans were realized, everybody was excited to enroll. Concerned citizens continuedly push the operations despite of the documents needed. Now, the school had already started its operation and 1st school year Calendar is about to end. Re-opening the school was the ultimate goal achieved by all of the people who took part on the initiatives.

Elementary and secondary extension schools were re-opened together with Mr. Jerry L. Laos as the Head Teacher II with 12 teachers in the Elementary Department from school year 2017-2020, while the High School Department was headed by Mr.  Roy V. Bacalso, Ed. D, Master Teacher I, as the first Administrator who took in charge the High School Department formerly known as New Leyte National High School- Masara Annex with 5 teachers from school year 2017-2018. During its first year of re-opening, it didn’t run smoothly for everybody especially on the part of the teachers because they were dependent to the main schools. The scarcity of resources and lack of facilities were some of the main concerns.

School year 2018-2020, Mr. Jesuroy N. Tagimacruz, Head Teacher I, supervised the High School Department with 6 teachers. The number of enrollees increased since it made more accessible to the other students in the neighboring barangays.

March 2020- November 2020, Mrs. Elizabeth T. Godito, Head Teacher II took in charge after the reshuffling of the administrator, she temporarily adopted Masara Integrated School formerly named Tagbaros Elementary School- Masara Extension. 

In order to make the name of the school into Masara Integrated School, the Barangay Captain of Masara Hon. Douglas A. Dumalagan Jr. and the former School Head of Elementary Department Mr. Jerry L. Laos together with the stakeholders especially the Barangay Council of Masara worked out the papers diligently and submitted the remaining documents needed. After it was all accomplished, it now changed into MASARA INTEGRATED SHOOL in August 14, 2020

In November 20, 2021, Turn-Over Ceremony of Masara Integrated School and the Installation of the new School Head were conducted. It was a historical event since the school achieved a wonderful milestone wherein stakeholders who went through the process came to witness the celebration. Congressman of Second District Hon. Ruwel Peter S. Gonzaga, Municipal Mayor Alvera Veronica R. Rimando, MD, FPSMS, RMT, Municipal Vice Mayor Arthur Carlos Voltaire R. Rimando with their Sangguniang Bayan (SB) Members, representative from Apex Mining Company and the Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) Mrs. Judy P. Noces Ed.D. who personally installed the new Teacher In-charge Mr. Ian C. Casqiujo to take the full responsibility to manage the school.

After all those struggles, efforts and the cooperation of the stakeholders accompanied with mighty prayers, Masara Integrated School prospered continuously and did their best to be one of the well-known schools of Maco South District province of Davao de Oro.
