History

The institution was founded as Janiuay High School (JHS) on July 5, 1946, through the efforts of Hon. Tiburcio A. Lutero, the then congressman of the Third Congressional District of Iloilo. Located on a land area of 7.92 hectares (79, 200 square meters), it was the first public high school in the municipality and strategically situated in the town center of Janiuay, Iloilo. The conversion of Janiuay High School into Janiuay National Vocational High School (JNVHS) on June 21, 1959, under R.A. 2411 authored by then congressman Domitilo G. Abordo made the school focus more on Vocational education.

On June 19, 1971, the school became Janiuay National Comprehensive High School (JNCHS) by R.A. 6313 authored by a congresswoman from the Third District of Iloilo, Hon. Gloria M. Tabiana and a two-year technical college was opened.

Under R.A. 6667 dated June 22, 1988 authored by then congressman, Hon. Licurgo P. Tirador, renamed the school to Don Tiburcio A. Lutero National Comprehensive HIGH School (DTALNCHS), in honor of its founder, congressman Tiburcio Alianza Lutero.

On March 30, 1995, the school was converted to Janiuay Polytechnic College (JPC), by virtue of R.A. 7974, again authored by Hon. Licurgo P. Tirador. During the span of fifty years the name of the school, the curricular offerings and the school heads had changed.

After five years as a Polytechnic College, it was integrated to West Visayas State University on August 22, 2000, in consonance with CHED Memorandum Order No. 27, series of 2000 which contained the implementing of guidelines on integration of CHED Supervised Institutions (CSIs) to State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), by virtue of R.A. 7722, otherwise known as the “Higher Education Act of 1994” and R.A. 8292, otherwise known as the “Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997”.

From then and onwards, Janiuay Polytechnic College has become known as West Visayas State University - Janiuay Campus (WVSU-JC). Dr. Raymund Banquillo Gemora, professor VI, serves as the current campus administrator.
