The Davao City National High School, first known as the Davao Provincial High School had its humble beginning in 1922. Housed in a nipa hut at Magallanes Street, it opened its doors to 67 eager students with Mr. Dominador Fernandez as Officer-in-Charge and later by Mr. Adolfo Casolan as Principal with 3 teachers to help him guide the sixty seven (67) students who were enrolled at the time. When the municipality of Davao became a chartered city by virtue of Commonwealth Act No. 51, series of 1937, the name of school was fittingly changed to Davao City High School To acccomodate the increasing enrolment, a building was constructed at its present site in 1941. Unfortunately, this building was completely demolished by American bombs in April 1945.
