History[edit]

On January 13, 1969 the members of Kapulungang Nayon ng Tinajeros passed a resolution asking the Sangguniang Bayan ng Malabon the need for opening a public high school.

The Sangguniang Bayan ng Malabon passed Resolution No. 159369 providing the establishment of a municipal and vocational high school. It was decided from first year to third year students would be accommodated for the school year 1969-1970 and the fourth year students beginning the next school year 1970-1971. It was also contained in the resolution that sum of Php. 150,000.00 be appropriate by the Municipal Treasury of Malabon for opening of the school. The resolution signed on March 15, 1969 by the then Vice Mayor Manuel C. Domingo and Councilors Ruben Martin, Edilberto Villanueva, Maynard Espiritu, Neli G. Cid and Ferdinand Garcia proclaimed the birth of Malabon Municipal High School.

On March 28, 1969 another resolution was passed regarding the appointment of two teachers from Tinajeros Elementary School to take charge of the enrollment. The rooms in Tinajeros Elementary School were tentatively used by the high school students whose classes began in the late afternoon.

The following school year, 1970-1972, fourth Year students were accommodated. It was also during this school year that the construction of the President Marcos type building was built on a lot measuring 4,500 sq. meters.

The school had its first batch of 590 graduates in 1971. In the same year two proposals were made. First, that a two-storey building be constructed; second, that a principal and twenty (20) teachers be hired for the school year 1971-1972.

In 1977 the occupancy of the 1.2 hectare campus of Malabon Elementary School- Unit 1 located at M. Naval St., Hulong Duhat, Malabon was transferred to Malabon Central Barrio High School, the biggest of the four barrio high schools existing that time. MES-Unit 1, on the other hand, was fused with the Malabon Elementary School-Main. Since the newly occupied campus had more facilities and bigger accommodation, it became the Malabon Municipal High School-Main. The school in Tinajeros was transformed into an annex.

In 1980 all barangay high schools namely: Panghulo Barangay High School, Tonsuya Barangay High School and Tugatog Barangay High School were converted into annexes of MNHS. San Agustin Barangay High School, a former affiliate of MNHS was phased out in 1984 due to lack of funds the same with Tonsuya Annex which was closed in 1990 because it did not have a school site of its own. The students of these two annexes were absorbed by MNHS-Main.

The need for constructing additional rooms for the Malabon educands was realized when Theresa I building in 1989 through the joint efforts of the then Mayor Prospero I. Oreta and Congresswoman Teresa I. Oreta. In 1990 another grand project- the SEDP buildings composed of the THE building, Administrative Building, Reading Center and Academic Building- was completed

All public high schools were nationalized on January 1, 1988 but it was only in 1994 that the school changed its name from MMHS to Malabon National High School. In mid-90’s, its annexes became independent from MNHS except Potrero Annex which came into existence only in 1994.

At present, the sole annex of MNHS is the MNHS - Concepcion Vocational-Technical Annex located at P. Burgos, Concepcion, Malabon City.
