           This school began its operation in June 1938 in a rented old Enerio building at the corner of Rizal and Barrientos Street, near the mouth of the Layawan River. Its first year in 1939-1940, only the first and second year were opened. The Misamis Occidental National High School answers the needs of the 47 barangays of Oroquieta City at its nearby provinces for the 79 years. And the operation temporarily suspended because the World War II outbreak. After the war, classes were resumed with an enrollment of 798 students.

             In 1947, the main building was constructed at the present site, bounded with the Capitol Drive, P. Villarin St. and Osilao St., in Barangay Poblacion I. The Misamis Occidental High School became a National High School in 1970 through the efforts and benevolence of our leaders in the Provinces and Congress. After the earthquake in 1976 the old building was reconstructed in 1979.
