San Juan Barrio School has two separate building by the year 1969 with one school

head. The distance between St. Francis and MRR was quite far and the head teacher of San

Juan Barrio School had a hard time in supervising the two schools, thru the help of the new

supervisor, Mrs. Jesusa Tanyag teacher in charge was appointed in school thus making

independent school now bearing the name of San Juan Elementary School.

In 1970, another six rooms Marcos type building was built at St. Francis but still the school

has to rent more rooms to accommodate the increasing enrolment. Due to lack of rooms the school

at St. Francis,thru the help ofParent- Teacher Association (PTA) constructed a temporary five
