General Information and Academic Administration
History
The PSU Bayambang Campus had a very humble beginning. It started the Bayambang as Normal School in 1922. It offered then the secondary normal course which prepared much needed teachers for the country. The school closed in 1935 due to inadequate funds re-opened in 1948 under a new name - the Pangasinan Normal School (PNS), which offered the two-year teacher education program. It was one among the first normal schools in the Philippines. It was in 1952 that the college offered the four-year degree in teacher education for elementary teachers by virtue of RA No. 975. In 1953, the school with elementary schools in the District of Bautista and the Bayambang National High School were merged to become the Philippine UNESCO Community Training Center. It operated as a school division then. Republic Act No. 5705 converted the school into a chartered institution - the then Central Luzon Teachers College on June 1969.
The Pangasinan State University Bayambang Campus is also among the constituent campuses of the University to actively house a Laboratory High School (a school under the College of Teacher Education; serves as training ground for future HS Teachers) which dates its history by its then - name, Central Luzon Teachers College. The Pangasinan State University Laboratory High School offers secondary education Science Curriculum. The School also offered Basic Education Curriculum until March 2010. Batch 2010 - 2011 seniors was the first batch of the school in years to graduate from an all - science curriculum enabled sectioning. It also was the first batch to graduate from an all - single section per year system which was decided upon dating back on 2007. The batch makes history in being the first batch to hold graduation rites in the first ever Integrated Closing Exercises which houses both the LHS and KD - ELS (Kindergarten Department Elementary Laboratory School) in one Closing Ceremony. The Ceremony was successful, uniting the two laboratory schools of the Campus; KD - ELS and LHS.
