It offered the first four grades under the elementary agriculture curriculum and produced its first graduates in 1917. By virtue id Executive Order No. 59 dated December 18, 1918, its name was changed to Bukidnon Agricultural School, and it offered the last three grades of the same curriculum with Martin Callao as its principal.

The first batch of secondary agriculture students graduated in 1927. By virtue of Act No. 337, the name was changed to Bukidnon Agricultural High School, with the agriculture curriculum exclusive for male students only. Commonwealth Act No. 313 gave the school a new name — Bukidnon National Agricultural School — under Dr. Felipe Cevallos and Nicodemes Flores as superintendent and principal, respectively. This time, secondary homemaking curriculum was offered to female students with Esmeralda Collado Relis as the first girl to enroll. In  1943 to 1945, the school was closed due to World War II. After the war the school reopened. Due to the aftermath of the war, it was transferred to Musuan, Maramag, Bukindnon.
