Central Mindanao University Laboratory High School or CMULHS, is a secondary school in Musuan, Maramag, Bukidnon, Philippines. CMULHS is under the management of the Central Mindanao University - College of Education as a separate department, but it separately maintains its own set of administrators.

History

Central Mindanao University Laboratory High School traces its roots from a farm school organized by the Americans. It was established in 1910 as Mailag Agricultural (Industrial) School in Colonia, Mailag, Malaybalay (now part of Valencia City) Bukidnon under Santos Cudal, the head teacher. 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, the name of the school was changed to Bukidnon Agricultural School and offered the last three grades of the same curriculum with Martin Callao as its principal. In 1921, the school was transferred to Managok, Malaybalay City and was renamed Bukidnon Rural High School under Proclamation No. 30. The first batch of secondary agriculture students graduated in 1927.[1]

By virtue of Act No. 337, the name was changed to Bukidnon Agricultural High School, with the agriculture curriculum exclusive for its 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 Mrs. Esmeralda Collado Relis as the first female to enroll. In 1943 to 1945, the school was closed due to World War II. After the war the school reopened but due to the aftermath of the war, the school was then transferred to Musuan, Maramag, Bukindnon. On June 21, 1952, President Elpidio Quirino signed Republic Act 807 or Mindanao Agricultural College Charter which installed Zosimo Montemayor as president, with its high school department headed by Narciso Pepeito.[1]

On June 19, 1965 by virtue of Republic Act 4498, Mindanao Agricultural College was granted with its university status and was renamed Central Mindanao University. The high school was then headed by Felixberto Roquia. In 1965 to 1966, the general academic curriculum was introduced. Ireneo Mendoza was the acting head in 1968 to 1969 and Leonardo Chua in 1969 to 1970. In 1970 to 1971, both revised curricula implemented: vocational and general academic curriculum with Leopoldo Roque as principal. In June 1987, the Vocational Agricultural Secondary Curriculum was phased out and the Science Curriculum was implemented. In 1990 to 1996, the school operated in pure science curriculum. In 1996 to 2008, the science and general secondary curriculum was again implemented, having two sets of honor students. In 2008, the school again operated on pure science curriculum.[1] In 2012, the school adopted the K–12 education program. The last batch of the old education program (four year high school education) graduated in 2015.

Curriculum

The current CMULHS curriculum is the former Science Curriculum, a curriculum for those students who passed the ULHSAT at the top percentile ranks.

Formerly, the curriculum had only 2 sections per year level. In 2005 the administration phased out the New Secondary Curriculum (NSEC) and replaced the NSEC section with a Science Curriculum section. As of 2008 the Science Curriculum is the only remaining curriculum offered in CMULHS.

The school is using a science-based curriculum, which emphasizes and deals more with Sciences (General Science, Geology, Earth Sciences, Inorganic and Bio Chemistry, Biology, Genetics, Physics, and Environmental Sciences), and Mathematics (Algebra, Consumer Mathematics, Trigonometry, Geometry, Calculus, Computer Sciences, and Statistics).
