The Bayugan National Comprehensive High School, formerly called Bayugan Municipal Comprehensive High School was conceived in 1975 but came to reality in April 1980 when Sangguniang Bayan of Bayugan through the initiative and leadership of the Municipal Mayor Vicente P. Encendencia passed a municipal resolution no. 37 creating the school.
