Brief history Through the request of the various religious organizations, a first year high school was started out in Barangay Bulanao as an annex to Saint Theresita’s School Tabuk during the school year 1965-1966. In the absence of a school building, the students were temporarily housed at Bulanao Catholic Chapel which was then used as a classroom on weekdays and a house of worship on Sundays. The following school year, 1966-1967, first and second year education was offered but still St. William’s remained as an annex of Saint Theresita’s School Tabuk. A movable partition was put up in the chapel so that it could accommodate the first and the second years. It was during this school year when a four-room building was constructed in preparation for the incoming school year. Meanwhile, negotiations were being made with the Department of Education for the release of a permit to offer first to third year education and at the same time for the school to stand as an independent school. On June 27, 1967, permit no.262 s. 1967 was finally released by the Department of Education for the school to operate first to third year high school education, under a registered name, SAINT WILLIAM’S ACADEMY (named after Msgr. William Brasseur, the Apostolic Vicar of the Mountain Provinces). Thus, Saint William’s Academy was born with Fr. Andres Nowe as the first director and with Mr. Guido Mangawit as the first principal. During the school year 1967-1968, another five room building was constructed. The following school year, 1968-1969, the high school now operates its four-year levels fully packed with students, under permit no. 214 s. 1968, and Government Recognition No. 236 s. 1968 both of which were issued on July 3, 1968.
