Brief History 

Turning back the pages of history to the American Occupation Period, on June 8. 1914, the newly constructed Gabaldon Building near the seashore of Looc Bay was duly inaugurated. This building was constructed from the funds obtained from the appropriation of the Gabaldon Law passed by the National Assembly. On November 21, 1925, under the initiative of Mr. Armancio Roca, then Supervising Teacher for Looc managed the first district meet between Looc and Odiongan. On June 10, 1918, under the joint leadership of Mr. Victoriano Clemente the Municipal President, and Don Ignacio Tirol, the prominent element of the community, were able to construct a one-room building to accommodate the first grade five class ever recognized in Looc, Romblon which was then a sub-province of Capiz, was made into a regular province.
