<h1> Early Years, 1940-1984 </h1> | |||
In 1940, three special vocational courses, namely typing, stenography, and dressmaking, were introduced. Unfortunately, the school had to close down due to the outbreak of World War II. However, the Japanese occupation forces insisted that the school should reopen, and with their persuasion, the school resumed its operations by offering a secondary course. The American liberation forces caused a temporary halt in the school's operation in 1945. However, later that year, the school reopened and added new college courses to its curriculum. | In 1940, three special vocational courses, namely typing, stenography, and dressmaking, were introduced.
