west Visayas State University Janiuay Campus
It started with the pioneering spirit of the late Hon. Tiburcio A. Lutero, then-congressman of the Third District of Iloilo, who never gave up his vision for a secondary school for the town. Hon. Pedro Margarico, former Provincial Board Member, supported this vision by mobilizing resources of the Province of Iloilo. Men like Municipal Mayor Andres Lutero, Sr.; Municipal Vice Mayor Salvador Nobleza, Dr. Alfredo Ortigas, Mr. Tiburcio Cadete, Mr. Alipio Suarez and others during the founding and transition periods are worthy of esteem beyond compare. Mr. Jose Gonzales was the first Principal of Janiuay High School, followed by Mr. Wenceslao Sison, Mr. Jose Gorriceta, and Mr. Antonio Gelito.
