Before 1962, Caloocan was a municipality of Rizal Province and its schools were under the Division of Rizal. After the proclamation of Caloocan on February 16, 1962 as the 38th Chartered City of the Philippines by former president Diosdado Macapagal, Mr. Francisco Salamat was appointed City Superintendent on March 7, 1962.This appointment signaled the formal creation of a schools division in the City of Caloocan.
The new schools division was formed out of the two (2) supervisory districts of Caloocan I and II, which were headed by Simplicio Ortega and Juan Lopez, respectively. Shortly after, Caloocan III was added with Prudencio Quilanita as the District Supervisor. The three (3) District Supervisor positions, which were national items, were returned to the Division of Rizal.
