LUPON SCHOOL OF FISHERIES<\/strong> started as Lupon Community High School in 1969. Two years later, it became a Municipal High School. In 1982<\/strong>, the Sangguniang Bayan of Lupon<\/strong> passed a resolution recommending the conversion of the school into a School of Fisheries considering among others the need for such a school in the province being located along Davao Gulf and having vast area of brackish water fishpond in the area. The late Assemblyman Teodoro Palma Gil<\/strong> filed Parliamentary Bill No. 1642<\/strong> and on November 15,1982<\/strong> Batas Pambansa Bilang 298<\/strong> was signed by then Pres. Ferdinand E. Marcos<\/strong> converting Lupon Municipal High School<\/strong> to Lupon School of Fisheries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1991<\/strong>, the school acquired a 4.5 hectares fishpond area given by the Dacudao family through a\u00a0Deed of Transfer of Rights<\/strong> without any single centavo paid by the government. In 1992<\/strong>, then Congressman Thelma Z. Almario<\/strong> gave P500,000<\/strong> pesos from her Countryside Development Fund. Such fund was utilized in the purchase of 5.1 hectares land adjacent to the fishpond area. In 1992<\/strong> the school started offering Two Year Diploma in Fishery Technology major in Aquaculture and Fish Processing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With the passage of RA 7796<\/strong> otherwise known as TESDA Law<\/strong> in 1994<\/strong> the school was officially transferred to TESDA in March 1998<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
