Way back in 1928, school age children of the Municipality of Concepcion
grew very fast. The putting up of 10-room Gabaldon type of school building was inadequate to accommodate numerous schoolchildren of San Nicolas Poblacion and the adjoining barrios. That time, the Municipal President. The late Don Gregorio Palma thought it wise to solve the school problems. So with the support of the Representative- Don Benigno S. Aquino Sr., Don Gregorio Palma was able to acquire a land donated for school site purposes. A school was donated by the Cristobal and Gueco families in Concepcion. In the following year, through the efforts of the late Don Benigno S. Aquino Sr., a school building with 12 rooms was constructed. It was formally opened and established as Concepcion Elementary School. Many prominent citizens and leaders of the Municipality of the Province were products of this school. To mention a few distinguished alumni, we have former Congressman Jose V. Yap, Vice Governor of Tarlac- Nicolas Y. Feliciano and Board of Director Patricio Y. Pineda. All through the years, the school grew and survived various calamities both man-made and natural, including the Second World War in 1941. The Concepcion Elementary School was then changed into Concepcion North Central Elementary School in 1963 when the Municipality of Concepcion was divided into two school districts namely; Concepcion North District and Concepcion South District. Later on, it was again divided into four- the North, South, West and East Districts. From then on, it has continued to serve the townspeople of Concepcion. In 1977, the worst has come to this school when it was accidentally burned due to faulty electrical writing. It did not take long when the school began its reconstruction a year later with the assistance of Former Minister Constancio E. Castaneda of the Ministry of General Services. A new and beautiful concrete school building with 12 rooms was finally completed in 1979. Before the outbreak of World War II, a certain Mr. Mauricio Labutong was assigned as the Head Teacher of Concepcion Elementary School with Mr. Santiago as his Supervising Teacher. When World War II broke, Mr. Gerardo Sison of Tarlac handled the school as Head Teacher with the same Supervising Teacher. After the war, Mr. Desiderio Mercado of San Jose took over as the School Principal. His Supervisor then was Mr. Eginido Zamora of Camiling, Tarlac. Due to Mr. D. Mercado’s promotion to a Supervisory position Mr. Marcelino Tolentino succeeded.
During the Supervisorship of Mr. D. Mercado the following Principals
succeedingly took place one after the other:
Mr. Marcelino Tolentino was viced by Mr. Esteban G. Asprec as the
School Principal, when Mr. E. Asprec was then promoted to a Supervisory Position, Mr. Glicerio Zablan seated as the Principal, then came Mr. Agripino Dizon in 1970 who stayed in the school for 8 years, Mr. Esteban G. Asprec now as the Supervisor until Mr. Jose M. Quiambao was assigned as the Principal to take the place of Mr. A. Dizon who was transferred then to Lapaz North in 1978. Upon the retirement of Mr. Asprec, Mr. Florentino A. Ramos replaced him. Mr. Benjamin Canovas then took Mr. Quiambao’s place when he retired. Mrs. Erlinda B. Balatbat the first lady Principal got the position of Mr. Canovas due to his transfer to Concepcion East. Mr. Ramos then passed away, so Mr. Angel Rodriguez took his place as the District Supervisor. From Principal I to Principal II Mrs. Balatbat was promoted so she was transferred to O’Donnel Capas, Tarlac. It was then when Mr. Nicolas M. Reyes arrived to administer the school from S.Y. 2001-2006. Due to his untimely death in December 19, 2005, Mr. Catalino J. Navarro replaced him. For almost a year Mr. Navarro headed the school as Principal II then promoted to Principal III until the Almighty Creator took him in His hands too in December 12, 2006. Mr. Danilo M. Sese the District Supervisor ruled the district and at the same time managed the Central school for sometime. In June 18, 2007, Mrs. Maria Luisa S.
