On the opposite side of the gym were the sections III-Lithium, IV-Proton, II-Kamia, III-Sodium and IV-Electron. School year 2006-2007 was the last school year at this site.
Transfer to Permanent Site
The school year 2007-2008 was the first school year that classes were conducted in the campus' permanent site. During the transfer, only the academic building and a small canteen were present. The dormitories were not yet finished during the year so the dormitory was temporarily situated at TESDA, Ditucalan, Iligan City. The students were then transported to the school via school bus, as well as back to the dorm during afternoons. Currently, the dormitories are situated inside the school campus. Moreover, the academic building has been fully furnished. The administration building is currently under construction.
