EXPLANATORY NOTE

Since the inception of Tinajeros National High School — Acacia Annex in 2010, it
has been consistently rated for its performance in teaching and has cultivated
meaningful and productive links with its community

The school has developed on a 1,020.79 square meter lot housing a total of three
(3) buildings with fifteen (15) classrooms at Flerida Street corner Kapitan Tiago
Street, Acacia, Malabon City. through the joint effort of the local government unit and
barangay officials as well as the parents and different community organizations.

The school offered complete secondary education program from Grades 7 — 10 and
Grades 11 ~ 12. It currently caters to the needs of 979 Junior and Senior High School
students and 39 teaching staff.

Two years after its separation from its mother school, TNHS — Acacia Annex has
grown in reputation as they ranked first in the National Achievement Test in SY 2012
~ 2013 and SY 2013 — 2014 in the Division of Malabon City, attaining the highest
NAT Mean Percentage Score (MPS) and NAT Increment. The school has always
enjoyed a strong participation in division and regional competitions conducted by
public and private institutions. Their performance in teaching has been reflected in
their number of winnings from different contests.

With all these achievements and potentials, it is deemed necessary to convert
Tinajeros National High School ~ Acacia Annex as an independent school and to be
separated from its Mother School, Tinajeros National High School, and to be
subsequently named Acacia National High School.


It is essential for TNHS — Acacia Annex to be an independent school so to have
full administrative management and instructional supervision and not to be dependent
to its mother school. On its independence, the school will be able to optimize the use
of the physical facilities and accommodate the incessant increased of enrolment in
public schools, mostly to serve the enrollees of the surrounding community

All these evidences indicate that the quality and extent of the contribution of
Tinajeros National High School ~ Acacia Annex to education are truly beneficial and
meaningful to the learners, and to the community as well, that makes them prepared
and capable of becoming an independent school.

In view of the foregoing, the approval of this proposed measure is earnestly sought.
