The beginnings of Partido High School went back to the time when the Provincial Board of Camarines Sur announced that whichever town that could meet the basic requirements of a school site, an enrolment of at least 200 students, and a building that could house the classes, a branch of Camarines Sur National High School (in Naga City) would be established. Goa mobilized its whole community. A school site was secured – a riceland located at the boundary of Goa – San Jose.
Research and Development as an integral function of higher education institutions began in 1994 since the establishment of Partido State College and its subsequent conversion of university status. This integral component of being functional must conduct research, projects, and programs responsive and directed towards enhancing the university's existing programs and supporting its development goals. Toward this end, research management at PSU must enunciate its vision, mission goals and objectives, areas of concern, thrusts and priorities, organizational structure and functions, and implementing mechanisms. This is done to ensure an orderly manner and professional conduct of research in this academic community.
In the latter part of 1970, the PTA and Municipal Council of Goa sought Congressman Felix Fuentebella to file a bill in Congress to convert Partido High School into Partido National High School. Unfortunately, martial law was declared in 1972. It was only in 1974 when Partido National High School became operative. This time, the school entered its "Golden Era" when it almost dominated all academic, athletic, and cultural competitions. It garnered plums in both regional and national secondary press conferences. The decade of the '70s likewise saw the establishment of other secondary schools within the district.
In 1974, the Municipal Council of San Jose under then-Mayor Gil Pacamarra established the Salogon Barangay High School with Dr. Seneca Z. Tacurda as its first principal. It was converted into San Jose Fisheries School, according to Batas Pambansa Blog. Four hundred six approved on June 10, 1983, with its new status as a national vocational school. SJFS would, later on, become the PSU-Salogon Campus.
In 1977, another barangay high school within the term of Mayor Pacamarra was born in San Jose, Camarines Sur. It acquired its status as San Jose Nationalized High School in 1987 when the new government gave budgetary priority to education due to the newly ratified 1987 Philippine Constitution. It was converted to the San Jose Polytechnic Institute (SJPI) on March 30, 1995, by Republic Act No. 7972 through the efforts of Hon. Congressman Arnulfo P. Fuentebella. Dr. Marie Jane Pacamarra was the first Administrator of SJPI, now the PSU-San Jose Campus.
Republic Act 6651 passed by Congressman Felix Fuentebella authorized the creation of Goa High School. In 1976, the late superintendent Carlos Borjal of Camarines Sur National College of Arts & Trades (in Naga City) requested from the Ministry of Education the transfer of Goa High School to Barangay Nato, Sagnay, Camarines Sur and was acted upon favorably in 1977. A year later, its name was changed to Governor Mariano Fuentebella Memorial Fisheries School with Francisco Romanes. On March 14, 1998, it was converted to Governor Mariano Fuentebella Memorial College of Fisheries (GMFMCF) under Republic Act No. 8594 and then to the PSU-Sagnay Campus. Dr. Pedro V. Vargas as its first Administrator.
In Caramoan, Camarines Sur, the Caramoan Vocational-Technical School (CVTS), now the PSU-Caramoan was born in 1994 by Republic Act No. 7828, which was also through the efforts of Congressman Arnulfo P. Fuentebella and was organized under the leadership of the late Manuel de la Torre. Dr. Vicente Lleno became its first Administrator.In Tinambac, Camarines Sur, the Tinambac Polytechnic Institute (TPI) came into existence under Republic Act No. 7958 signed March 29, 1995, due to Cong's initiative. Dr. Gregilda Pan organized Arnulfo P. Fuentebella before its first Superintendent, Dr. Fortuno P. Villanueva, took over. TPI would, later on, become the PSU-Tinambac.In the northern part of Lagonoy, Barangay Cabotonan, the Lagonoy Fishery School (LFS), now the PSU-Lagonoy, came into being under Republic Act No. 8417. Ms. Trinidad Soltes is its first-ever Administrator since its existence in 1997. Congressman Arnulfo Fuentebella sustained the momentum of Partido National High School in 1986, when, through his representation, Partido National High School was converted into Partido State College under Presidential Decree No. 2011.
The different stakeholders in the province of Camarines Sur clamored for the conversion of Partido State College, together with the six other schools/colleges in the district, to a state university. Finally, the tremendous boon came to Partidoanos when Republic Act No. 9029 authored by Speaker Arnulfo P. Fuentebella was signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on March 5, 2001, creating Partido State University.
