Under the supervision of an elementary principal, it continued to complete the four year levels. As years passed enrolment had been increasing and due to the lack of classrooms, teachers conducted their classes on the stage and even under trees until such time that the school was separated
in the elementary and it was named Tala Barrio High School with Dr. Cesar L. Gayod as the first secondary principal.
With his effort, he was able to put an Annex High School to another site near Glorietta Park – the present Tala Post Office.
