Balara High School came into existence in the school year 1975-1976. It was then an annex of Flora Ylagan High School. In its first year of operation, there were only two classrooms used. One room for the first year and another room for the second year at the Old Balara Elementary School along Katipunan road. Only 15 students were enrolled in the second year and 45 first year students were enrolled during this school year. There were only two teachers then, namely Miss Elvessa Noche and Mrs. Matrona Reyes. Mr. William Barcena served as the officer-in-charge. There was an increase in number of students during the next school year 1976-1977. Hence, the Supt. decided to transfer the School of Balara Elementary School. The administrator gives way and evocated the two storey building which was used to house the grade six pupils. The number of teachers, (originally 2) became 13. Among the teachers who were assigned during this school year were: Mrs. Ma. Luisa Robles, Ms. Ines Barrera, Mrs. Mauricia Negre, Mr. Rex Aragon, Mr. Robert Daquioag, Mrs. Susan Lascano, Ms. Felicitas Jemenez White, Mr. Digan, Mrs. Bergonia, Mr. Rivera and Mrs. Adelfa Mena. The two pioneer teachers continue their services. Mrs. Celia dela Cruz was the head-teacher-in-charge. Meanwhile, the name of the school was change Quezon City High School Annex was its new then. There were two sections in third year, two sections in second tear and three sections in first year. As the years go by, student populations continue to increase. Likewise, the number of teachers also grew. New teachers were added in the school year 1977-1978. They were: Ms. Michael, Ms. Parong, Ms. Abaldonada, Ms. Abuda, Mrs. Tablante, Mr. Victorino, Mr. Nicolasora, Mrs. Dela Cruz, Mr. Francisco, Ms. Bernardino and Ms. Arcillas. The head-teacher-in-charge was Mrs. Luz de Guzman. Ms. Sumaoang came into the school year 1978-1979, while Mrs. Bandal and Ms. Tariman came into the school year 1979-1980. It was during the school year that the school gained its independence together with the three other schools annex in the division. A change in administration of the school took place. Mrs. Amelia Castelltort headed the faculty. New teachers were assigned then. They were: Mrs. Citor, Ms. Aquino, Mrs. Aribon, Mr. Aribon Mr. Floresca, Mrs. Sunalabi, Mrs. Casingal, Ms. Annang, Mrs. Rabago, Mrs. Estrellado, Mrs. Blas and Mr. Torres. Ms. Ramos came during the shool year 1983-1984, it was also then when Balara High School had an increasing population so the administration opened Balara High School Annex. Meanwhile, Mrs. Purificacion M. Cruz replaced Mrs. Castelltort in the school year 1984-1985. New comer teachers were: Mrs. Hernandez, Mrs. Aklan, Ms. Cerdena, and Mrs. Caburian. It was during the term of Mrs. Cruz when the six classroom two storey building was constructed. Since its operation, the school has a perennial problem in congestion because of its continuous growth in population. The previous administrations tried their best to solve this problem but this could not be realized due to the fact that there is no available lot for another building construction. We hope and pray that the MWSS will give us a school site in one of its vacant lots in the vicinity.
