Smaller than most schools in the region
On the Department of Education’s list for school year 2025–26, with its learners for each year DepEd publishes; the 2012–13 and 2015–16 counts and where it stands are from DepEd’s 2019 masterlist. Something wrong?
Where DepEd’s list puts it.
DepEd's school records list 1911 as the founding year of this elementary school in Simunul, Tawi-Tawi.
It was first called Tungusung Elementary School. Republic Act 5111, approved on June 17, 1967, renamed it Panglima Hussin Arupin Elementary School. The law honors the late Panglima Hussin Arupin for his "many benevolent acts" for the education of his people on his home island of Simunul, which was then part of Sulu province.
As the crow flies, among the schools pinned where they stand.
