The people of the municipality of Maigo and its nearby places were facing an extreme crisis on secondary education in 1990s due to the enormous numbers of elementary graduates from and outside the municipality of Maigo. Although Maigo School of Arts and Trade in existence however, it could not accommodate the greater increase of student's population since Maigo School of Arts and Trade focuses or concentrates more on the tertiary education. The problem remained a problem until Hon. SB member Norberto Badelles made the initiative and passed a resolution to the board requesting to open a new high school to answer the very high demand of the Maigoans. The body unanimously approved the resolution and requesting the Local Finance Officer through the Office of the Municipal Mayor to appropriate funds for it. Local government officials gave full support to the school. Likewise, the Superintendent of Maigo School of Arts and Trade Mr. Maximo B. Aguaviva, Jr. donated one (1) hectare of land from the Maigo School of Arts and Trade property to the municipality of Maigo through Hon. Mayor Perlita P. Libardos, which was a donation also from Becoy Family. This was made in order to have a space for the construction of the building of the new high school. This land is located where the present Maigo High School buildings erected.
          The school was formally opened on June 7, 1993 as Maigo Municipal High School. It's main objective was to cater the educational needs of the people especially the young ones who could not afford to enroll to private institutions and coming from the municipality of Maigo and its nearby places. The school started to open First Year level on that School Year having two (2) sections only and with the total population of 138 students. There were only four (4) teachers employed who were locally paid. Two of them were full-time, namely: Mr. Felizardo P. Panes and Mrs. Aida C. Boreros. While Mrs. Sonora C. Pallar and Mrs. Elvira T. Abella (formerly Miss Elvira Tadlas) were part-time volunteers. The school sustained through the local funds and also the full support given by the local officials.

         On June 1994 many things happened. The school opened its Second Year level to accommodate its very own former freshmen students and other students from other schools. The population increased from 138 to 330 students. There were two (2) sections for the Second Year and three (3) for the First Year. There were additional five (5) teachers to the former four (4) teachers. Four (4) of them are full-time and five (5) of them are part-time.
          The very amazing increased of enrollees every year opted and encourage the SB members headed by Hon. Norberto Badelles to pass a resolution to the national government through Hon. Cong. Mariano L. Badelles to make Maigo Municipal High School into Maigo National High School.
          After several readings happened at the Houses of the Congress and the Senate, it was successfully approved on June 3, 1995 thereby making Maigo Municipal High School to Maigo National High School through R. A. 7732. Then it was personally and regularly followed-up by the School Administrator, Mr. Felizardo P. Panes to make its change to national became faster.
