Naval Institute of Technology (NIT) is a state college in Biliran, Philippines. Formerly the Naval High School, NIT was converted to its present status through R.A. 4309. The institute is currently pursuing its universityhood status.
[edit] Early beginnings
On October 30, 1945, a Municipal Resolution No. 35 was passed through the late Acting Mayor Pablo Caneja, requesting to establish a secondary public high school in the municipality of Naval, Biliran, Philippines. The Naval High School was established and operated for school year 1946-1947.
After decades of the school's operation, a bill was introduced by late Congressman Marcelino Veloso which became a law in June 19, 1965 converting Naval High School into a chartered state college under R.A. 4309. The conversion placed the school for national funding under the first President, Mr. Alfredo C. Josep. The school then offered vocational and engineering courses as required.
