School Profile

Galas National High School (School ID: 303888) is located along the National Highway in Barangay Galas, Dipolog City, under the West District B of the Dipolog City Division in Region IX – Zamboanga Peninsula. The school is approximately 4 kilometers from the poblacion and is accessible by motorcycle. It serves as a key educational institution for junior and senior high school learners in the community.

The school is supported by 96 nationally funded teachers, including 8 master teachers, who are dedicated to delivering quality instruction and holistic development.

The school has essential facilities such as a functional computer laboratory, a science laboratory, and a library with over 2,100 books. However, several classrooms are in need of repair, and the library requires renovation to better serve the students. The learner-to-seat and learner-to-classroom ratios indicate a need for additional infrastructure and learning spaces.

Student health is a priority, with cases of malnutrition and common ailments like fever, headache, and dysmenorrhea being addressed through school-based feeding programs and health interventions. The school also promotes safety and child protection, with mechanisms in place to respond to abuse and violence.

Community involvement is evident through stakeholder participation in school activities and support for learners. The school is connected to internet services via Quatas and PISO WiFi, which supports digital learning, though connectivity and access remain areas for improvement.
