History of the school
English Version
Historical Background and Establishment
Masambong is a historic community that predates the establishment of Quezon City, deriving its name from “Sambong”, a medicinal plant that once grew abundantly in the area. Masambong Elementary School originated as one of five annexes of the San Francisco Elementary School. According to local residents and alumni, the school was officially founded on March 17, 1965.
Campus and Infrastructure
Initially, these annexes operated out of various rented facilities before the school moved to its permanent site in 1972. The school grounds occupy an area of 4,354.5 square meters. The site is bounded by Wayan and Malasimbo Streets to the north, Balingasa Creek to the west, and Del Monte Avenue to the south.
Over the years, the campus has undergone significant infrastructure development. The original pre-fabricated structures, which contained 12 classrooms, have been replaced by modern facilities, including:
Belmonte Hall: A four-storey building with 11 classrooms.
DPWH building: A three-storey structure with 14 classrooms.
Calalay Building: A four-storey structure with 8 classrooms.
Community Scope and Leadership
The school serves as the primary educational institution for several catchment areas, including Masambong, Sto. Domingo, Talayan, Balingasa, the Kaingin Bukid section of Barangay Apolonio Samson, and Manresa. Since its establishment in 1965, the school has been led by a series of dedicated principals, including Magdalena Perez, Vicitacion Bayan, Luna Z. Dua, Reynaldo F. San Diego, Clarita M. Pinili, Editha J. Mendoza, Danilo Zamora, Winefreda Glino, Petronila Garcia, Escarlita B. Bandong, Efren R. Garvida, Lea G. Talosig, Pedro J. Nuestro, Juan Amormio D. Cabardo, Eleanor I. Flores, Cynthia G. Gomez, and, at present, Hellen F. Hilario.

Kasaysayan at Pagkatatag
Ang Masambong ay isang makasaysayang komunidad na mas matanda pa sa pagkakatatag ng Lungsod Quezon. Ang pangalan nito ay hango sa “Sambong”, isang halamang gamot na dati ay sagana sa lugar na ito. Ang Masambong Elementary School ay nagmula bilang isa sa limang annexes ng San Francisco Elementary School. Ayon sa mga residente at alumni, ang paaralan ay opisyal na itinatag noong Marso 17, 1965.
Campus at Imprastraktura
Noong una, ang mga annex na ito ay nakahimpil sa iba’t ibang inuupahang gusali bago lumipat ang paaralan sa kasalukuyang lokasyon nito noong 1972. Ang lupain ng paaralan ay may lawak na 4,354.5 metro kuwadrado. Ang lokasyon nito ay napapaligiran ng Kalye Wayan at Kalye Malasimbo sa hilaga, Balingasa Creek sa kanluran, at Del Monte Avenue sa timog.
Sa paglipas ng mga taon, dumaan ang campus sa makabuluhang pagpapasulong ng imprastraktura. Ang mga dating pre-fabricated na gusali, na binubuo ng 12 silid-aralan, ay napalitan na ng mga makabagong pasilidad, kabilang ang:
Gusaling Belmonte: Isang gusaling may apat na palapag at 11 silid-aralan.
Gusaling DPWH: Isang gusaling may tatlong palapag at 14 na silid-aralan.
Gusaling Calalay: Isang gusaling may apat na palapag at 8 silid-aralan.
Sakop ng Komunidad at Pamumuno
Nagsisilbi ang paaralan bilang pangunahing institusyong pang-edukasyon para sa ilang catchment areas, kabilang ang Masambong, Sto. Domingo, Talayan, Balingasa, ang bahaging Kaingin Bukid ng Barangay Apolonio Samson, at Manresa. Mula nang itatag ito noong 1965, ang paaralan ay pinamunuan ng mga dedikadong punongguro, kabilang sina Magdalena Perez, Vicitacion Bayan, Luna Z. Dua, Reynaldo F. San Diego, Clarita M. Pinili, Editha J. Mendoza, Danilo Zamora, Winefreda Glino, Petronila Garcia, Escarlita B. Bandong, Efren R. Garvida, Lea G. Talosig, Pedro J. Nuestro, Juan Amormio D. Cabardo, Eleanor I. Flores, Cynthia G. Gomez, at, sa kasalukuyan, Hellen F. Hilario.
