Name of the School Observed Maysan National High School
School Address Maysan rd. Valenzuela City
Date of Visit Jan. 2, 2017
Maysan National High School is easily seen because it is beside of Maysan Rd. At
the back of the school we can find the OLHR Parish, also it is near at the on going
constructions of new PLV main Campus, Maysan market and Maysan Elementary School at
the left side. When I enter the school campus I think that this school can accommodate the
number of students. It is too old so they need to renovate it. Their facilities are complete for
the activities they prepare.
