Paliparan II Integrated High School

Paliparan II Integrated High School (P2IHS), formerly known as the Paliparan II National High School (P2NHS), was founded in 2010 to cater the growing community in Barangay Paliparan 1 and Paliparan 2. At first, it served as the annex of its ‘mother school,’ the Congressional National High School (CNHS) headed by Dr. Emmanuel L. Ressurrecion as Principal IV.

Its main building was inaugurated on February 10, 2011 from the initiative and effort of the City Government of Dasmariñas headed by Hon. Jennifer Austria-Barzaga. The construction of the school building was funded by the Office of the Congressman under Hon. Congressman Elpidio “Pidi” Barzaga Jr. During a year-round construction, P2NHS, on its first year of operation, borrowed five classrooms from Paliparan Elementary School (PES) headed by Principal II Mrs. Mercelita D. Mendoza. The school was operated by an officer-in-charge (OIC) Mrs. Edna B. Laudato with only seven faculty members for the school year 2010-2011 with approximately 250 freshmen as its initial students. Finally, after the school building was inaugurated in 2011, the students and teachers had used it under the school administration of OIC Mr. Ricardo C. Del Mundo starting S.Y. 2011-2012 that lasted for three years. In the school year 2015-2016, Paliparan II National High School was officially separated from its ‘mother school’ CNHS under the supervision of Ms. Rowena R. Hermoso who was promoted as Principal II in 2017.

In response to the implementation of the K to 12 curricula, Paliparan II National High School has become Paliparan II Integrated High School after they offered in 2016 two Senior High School Academic tracks specifically: General Academic Strands and Humanities and Social Sciences. And presently our senior high has added Tech-Voc track that specializes; Bread and Pastry Production, Cookery, Food and beverage services. Consequently, the said school had produced its first ever Senior High School graduates batch 2018.
