Claro M. Recto Information and
Communication Technology High School
The Claro M. Recto Information and Communication Technology High School is a Secondary Public High School located at Doña Aurora St., Claro M. Recto, Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines.
​
The school site used to be a primary school of Claro M. Recto Elementary School. However, the limited enrollment in its classes led to its integration with Dr. Clemente Dayrit Elementary School in 1998. The said integration did not leave the school site futile because since then, the existing classrooms have been utilized for Non-Formal Education Classes for out-of-school-youth and adults under the DECS Non-Formal Education System.
​
Subsequently, the school was used by Dr. Clemente Dayrit Elementary School for its classes under the Pre-Elementary Department with the approval of the Division of Angeles City to transfer the Special Program for the Arts Classes from Fransisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School in June 2006. The School was then known as Philippine School for the Arts.
Due to minimal enrollment in the Special Program for the Arts classes, the transfer of the students under the said program to the school site did not happen. This led to the establishment of an ICT-centered secondary school by the School's Division Superintendent, Dr. Antonieta B. Tiotuico. The school was named Claro M. Recto Information and Communication Technology High School.
​
The Schools Division Superintendent assigned Mrs. Lyn V. Lansangan, EPS I-MAKABAYAN, to assist Mrs. Lourdes G. Dela Cruz, designated Officer-In-Charge of the school in preparing the documents needed for the creation of the school. Mr. Honorio G. Sarmiento, EPS I-Industrial Arts also extended assistance in preparing the necessary facilities for the initial operation of the school for the S.Y. 2008-2009. The Principal of Fransisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School (FGNMHS), Mrs. Ma. Celina L. Vega also supported the establishment of the school.
Claro M. Recto Information and Communication Technology High School started to operate in June 2008 as a satellite school of FGNMHS and now has its own identity as a free public secondary school.
