Nasayod kaba kon dis-a magagikan ang pangalan nga Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School (DCPNHS) nga mao kanhi ang Bohol National High School o Bohol High?
Kini gikan sa pangalan ni Dr. Cecilio K. Putong, kanhi secretary of education sa panahon ni kanhi Pres. Elpidio Quirino.
Karong adlawa, mao ang iyang birthday tungod kay siya natawo man niadtong Feb. 1, 1891, sa dakbayan sa Tagbilaran.
(The Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School is the premier public secondary school in Bohol, which was founded in 1905. The first teachers of the school were Americans called the Thomasites and one Filipino teacher, Dr. Cecilio K. Putong, who later became a Secretary of Education in the country.
It was originally named Bohol High School and later, Bohol Provincial High School. By virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1050 emancipating the school from the provincial roll, it became Bohol National High School in 1977. It was finally renamed to what it is known today with the passage into law of Republic Act No. 8016 on May 25, 1995 authored by former 3rd Dist. Cong. Isidro Zaraga - a fitting tribute to an illustrious alumnus).
