Brief History of the City Schools Division of Dasmariñas 

DEPED DASMARIÑAS was established based on a DepEd Memorandum signed on May 18, 2010 by then Assistant Secretary Jesus G. Galvan. The Division Office formally commenced its operations on August 25, 2010 with Dr. Victoria R. Pamienta designated as the Officer-In- Charge of the Office of the Schools Division Superintendent and Dr. Emmanuel L. Resurreccion as the Officer-In-Charge of the Office of the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent. The Division was temporarily housed at Congressional National High School, Poinsettia St., Via Verde Village, Brgy. San Agustin II, City of Dasmariñas. 

To better supervise the City’s elementary education, the Division Office and the Local Chief Executive of the Local Government of Dasmariñas requested for a City Council (Sangguniang Panlungsod) Resolution that will reorganize the public elementary schools in the city from two (2) to five (5) districts. On October 4, 2010, Resolution No. 088-s-2010 on the Redistricting of the Division of Dasmariñas into Five (5) Districts was released. 

With the changes in the school cluster came another change, which served as a big step in the leadership of the Division. Upon the promotion of Dr. Victoria R. Pamienta as Assistant Regional Director, a new Officer-in-Charge of the Office of the Schools Division Superintendent, in the person of Dr. Manuela S. Tolentino, assumed the position in DEPED DASMARIÑAS in November 2014. 

The following year, with the implementation of the Rationalization Plan in accordance with Executive Order No. 366 issued in 2004, the Division Office underwent reorganization particularly among the non-teaching positions. The School Governance and Operations Division (SGOD) was established to render support services to schools, along with the Curriculum and Implementation Division (CID), which is mandated to supervise instructional management. 

To host the growing workforce of the Division Office, all employees were transferred to a new office at the CSDO Building, Dasmariñas Community Affairs Compound, Brgy. Burol II, Dasmariñas City on July 9, 2015. The two-storey building was donated by the City Government of Dasmariñas headed by then Mayor Jennifer Austria-Barzaga and supported by then Congressman Elpidio Barzaga, Jr. 

In August 20, 2018, DEPED DASMARIÑAS was conferred the ISO 9001:2015 certificate, making it the first City Schools Division in Region IV-A CALABARZON to earn such recognition. Since then, the organization DEPED DASMARIÑAS has continued to work and sustain the established quality management system. The Division Office remains committed to offering quality basic education support services for the satisfaction of its stakeholders, keeping its pledge to a DasmaSIpag, DasmaGAling, at DasmaSIGlang paglilingkod. 

At present, the Division Office manages 28 public elementary and 16 public secondary schools, which cater to 76,709 elementary pupils, 41,079 junior high school, and 11,167 senior high school students. 

Currently, the City Schools Division of Dasmariñas is under the leadership of OIC-SDS Elias A. Alicaya Jr. and ASDS Galileo L. Go. Steering alongside the are CID Chief Gemma G. Cortez, SGOD Chief Leticia T. Lopez, and Administrative Officer V Ryan Ashley B. Rollan.
