Brief History
The SIPOCOT NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL was then a Barrio High School and was founded in 1966. This was made possible thru the concerted efforts of a group of concerned citizens in the community. They worked hard for its opening due to the clamor of the elementary graduates who wanted to pursue secondary education. With an enrolment of 98, it started with two first year classes handled by two full-time teachers and five elementary teachers as part-timers. For two years, classes were held in the classrooms of Sipocot North Central School. During the third year, the enrolment had increased to 150, so the classes were transferred to the RP-US Building located at the hilly portion of the site owned by the elementary. In 1970, the first batch of 34 fourth year students graduated.

For several years, the school existed under the supervision of a mother high school – Calabanga High School, with the principal as head. Other supervisory functions were delegated to the Principal of Sipocot North Central School who acted as the assistant principal.
With the untiring support of the local government, under the administration of the late Mayor Jaime T. Avengoza and the joint efforts of the community and PTA, the school continued its task in order to effect quality education among the youth. As years went by, the enrolment kept increasing. Additional teachers were hired so that the school could effectively carry out its goals and objectives.
Few years later, Impig Barrio High School was changed to Impig Barangay High School. It has persistently survived despite financial difficulties encountered. It was at this point that the enrolment was enormously expanding. There was a need to employ not only more teachers to compose the teaching force but also personnel to serve as support staff.
The small school became bigger and bigger until it had reached that level when it had to be converted into Impig National High School. This was realized by the virtue of the Batasang Pambansa Blg. 543 that was passed on April 14, 1983 and duly approved on July 24, 1983. A day after, Dr. Elizabeth P. Palo was appointed as the First Secondary Principal I. Together with this item, non-teaching items were likewise given to the school, thus making it a Fiscally Autonomous School. Thru her initiative, the school was able to have its own site at Barangay Tara, covering 90,489 sq. meters. Because of the transfer of the site from Impig to Tara, the Sangguniang Bayan of Sipocot passed Resolution No. 218, s. 1987, requesting to change the name of the school from Impig National High School to Sipocot National High School. This was approved pursuant to Section 7 of Republic Act 6655.
School year 1984-1985, the school was still in Impig but gradually classes were organized at the new site. Year 1990, it was completely transferred to Tara. With these years that passed, the Sipocot National High School has produced successful graduates who are now professional in the field of Education, Engineering, Accountancy, Medicine and Business. The school is proud of having eleven graduates who are now within the staff, happily serving their alma mater.
In 1994, due to the promotion of Dr. Palo as Secondary School Principal IV at Camarines Sur National High School, Mrs. Cynthia S. Candelaria, Master Teacher 1, was designated by the Regional Director as the Officer in Charge of the school. Her term lasted for one year and a half. In June, 1996, Mrs. Leonor B.
