History
The history of Laboratory Elementary School can be traced back to 1919 when it was probably established along with the Laoag Normal School, its mother institution. According to the research report conducted by an alumna. Prof Helen E. Habon, school data was only available in 1926 with enrolment in Grade VII indicated for some school years. If elementary instruction was offered at the same time that the Laoag Normal School was opened, the LES is already 96 years in existence.
Through the years, LES has proven to be a center of quality learning, a school where pupils are developed to become responsible citizens and exemplary leaders in the community and country.
