Brief History of Cugman Elementary School
Cugman Elementary School is under East District 1, Division of Cagayan de Oro City. The school was opened in 1948 with Mrs. Leonardo Leyritana as first school in-charged who handled Grades I and II classes with Mr. Atilano Labuntong who handled Grades III and IV classes. They held their classes in a coconut dryer near the seashore. When there was a heavy downpour, they scampered under nearby houses and held their classes there,

In 1953, more pupils enrolled. The late Mr. Laureano Villanueva, who was then the barangay captain, requested some elderly residents who have finished high school to monitor some children’s activities until the time of formant teachers came. The Parent-Teachers’ Association with the Barangay Officials collaborated their efforts to build the school with complete rooms for the children,

With the effort and interests shown among the people in the community for their children’s education, Cugman Elementary School was realized and made in 1953 with Mr. Julian Salcedo as School Principal.
