II. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION
(Include the mandate, history, officials, contact details and other pertinent data)
Kalibo Elementary School was founded in 1901 upon the enactment of Act Number 74 by the Second Philippine Commission. The act formally established the primary schools that year and the intermediate schools in 1904.
Mr. Thomas Leonard, Supervisor-Inspector of Public Works of Capiz Province, reported to Dr. Fred Atkinson, General Superintendent od Public Instruction, that the first schools established were in Calivo which were started by the Infantry Regiment.
With the arrival of five hundred twenty-three American Thomasite teachers in Manila on August 21, 1901, twenty-three were assigned in Calivo.
Calivo Central School was housed in Escuelahan it Hari (Museo de Aklan) in 1912, Act Number 2029 granted the petition of Emeliano Baltazar Acevedo, Presidente Municipal de Calivo, for the construction of a Gabaldon School House. The building was labeled Building 1 known as Calivo Elementary School.
The growth in pupil’s population called for more school buildings. Building 1 being in a big lot, housed the intermediate grades. In the block, several buildings were constructed: Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Lunch Counter and a building for offices. The block was enclosed by Toting Reyes Street on the east; Roxas Avenue on the North; Mabini Street on the West and 19 Martyrs Street on the South. This block was later known as Compound 1.
The primary classes were in a building on the west side of Compound 1. This block was bounded on the east by Mabini Street, on the north by Archbishop Reyes Street, on the west by Veterans Avenue and on the south by 19 Martyrs Street. This became Compound II.
