HISTORY OF BAMBAN CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Bamban Central is located at Dela Cruz Bamban Tarlac, Tarlac wherein in Barangay Dela Cruz Dela Cruz is a barangay of the Philippine municipality in Bamban in the province Tarlac in Central Luzon which is part of the Luzon group of islands. Dela Cruz is one of the barangay which are in the outlying area of Municipal Bamban.
The municipality Bamban with a population of about 61,644 and its 15 Barangays belong to the party urban areas in the Philippines. While some of the barangay develop modern urban structures, some other, especially those which are seated in the outlying areas, remained rural. By the end of 2007 Dela Cruz had 1,806 resident.
The war wrought havoc and devastation to the people of Bamban, properties, schools and other Buildings were destroyed and burnt. People suffered very much the effect of war. Education was affected which deprived children of school age and othe higher age and other higher levels because schools in the problem were destroyed.
School children were housed on the wings of the church and other available temporary buildings after liberation. The government had one its best to improve the living condition of the people. And one big priory is education.
In 1947, two years after the liberation, Bamban Elementary was established. Bamban Gabaldon west of town could not house the burgeoning enrolment because of the population boom of the war. The old building located between the church and the public market in the poblacion, a school site was not ideal for future extension, so the municipal officials swapped the site for a four (4) hectares lot in the Dela Cruz Estate, north of the town proper.
The school was made of hard woods and G.I. Sheets. It houses the intermediate classes and absorbed pupils who finished Grade IV in the barrio schools including Bamban Gabaldon. Other school enrolled I-IV pupils only. It was called the the “intermediate School” and popularly know to young and old alike, as the “escuelang Macaba or Maragul”.
Not all the teachers were from Bamban. Some came from as far as Pangasinan and Ilocos Region. The first principal was the late Mr. Carlos Chavez, then Mr. Eleutero Briones, succeeded by Mr. Fortunato Tiglao. It was in 1963, when the school opened Grade I-IV classes, thus making it a complete elementary school. The pioneer teachers of the newly opened primary were new graduates of the Philippine Normal College (PNC). It was also time Bamban Central Elementary School and Bamban Gabaldon Elementary School became independent from each other.
Changes took place. Challenge and competitions emerged between the two big schools. Other schools followed. Business of the district and other education activities were done and staged in the school. It became the center of all educational and sports activities in the district. Being the center and show-window of the district, it was then named Bamban Central Elementary School (BCES). It continued to grow, develop, and shine from then on.

The ESF main building, Home Economics, and other buildings were constructed. Different subject areas, room and garden sprouted. Mr. Restituto P. Tolosa retired in 1995 and left a lasting remembrance in front of the school “Statue of Education”. he was succeeded by the Mr. Rufo M. Miranda, follow by Mrs. Carmen S. Tuazon. Each principal his or her own unique way of leading, encouraging, motivating and valuing system or style. From these, the rise and flow of the Central School depend.
