In early 1902, leaders of the short-lived Republica de Negros led by former provincial governor Melecio Severino and former Minister of Justice Antonio Jayme, together with George W. Bettie -- the division superintendent of schools -- exerted efforts to open a public secondary school in Negros Occidental. Despite the indifference of provincial governor to the idea, the school -- originally named Instituto Rizal-- was established due to the influence of the American provincial treasurer over the provincial board.
