Aguinaldo Highway bound Anabu II Elementary School on the west, on the east by the old Anabu road, on the north by residential houses and on the south commercial establishments. It is located at the boundary of Anabu 1st and Anabu 2nd

At first, it was called Anabu School and was established in 1916. As years went on the number of pupils’ increases, it was changed to Anabu Primary School handled by 2 or 3 teachers at that time up to 1921. Later on, it was changed to Anabu Barrio School

Two years from the time the school building was built, the nipa roof and bamboo walls became a dilapidated and damages became greater year after year. Sometimes in 1980, the nipa roof was replaced by second hand galvanized iron zinc. Other repairs of the flooring and sidewalls were shouldered approaching candidates during election campaigns.

The school building was facing the old road of Anabu then, and it was only after the war when it made to face the highway. This made possible through the suggestion of the principal of school of the town of Imus, Elpidia E. Bonanza.

To mention a few in passing, some of the school administrator were Mr. Estanislao Virata , Mr. Florante Tagle, Mr. Macario Sarreal, Mr. Zosimo Livelo, Mrs. Sotera Monzon, Mr. Zacarias Montoya, Miss Fidela Gonzales, Miss Juana Sarreal and Mr. Tiburcio Ramos.

After World War II, a big improvement followed. The number of teachers increased and so with the enrolment. Moreover, in 1950, it was already a complete elementary school. It was the only school in the barrio then. Pupils came from the
nearby sitios like Pasong Buaya, Ragatan, Pasong Santol, Anabu 1st, Salawag and Buhay na Tubig. With the untiring and endless effort of the principal, teachers and
parents, additional buildings were constructed like the Industrial Arts Bldg., H.E. Bldg., Learning Resource Center, Office of the Principal, and the industry.

Clinic. Mrs. Generosa Ocampo became the first principal of the school when it was completed. Great changes made possible through her initiative, resourcefulness and industry.

When she left the school and promoted to a higher position, Miss Concepcion Medina took over. Mrs. Carmen C. Ramirez who brought great renovations in the school followed her. After her, young and energetic, Miss Trinidad C. Montoya showed her modern approach in leadership. Like the other past principals of the said school, she continued the improvements already started by her predecessor.

The policy of Mrs. Imelda R. Marcos, the former First Lady and Governor of Metro Manila to disperse schools, colleges and universities from the metropolis, played an important role in the tremendous development and progress of Anabu II Elementary School. The proximity of the said colleges and universities that established in the different places of the big area of Dasmariñas, Cavite holds promise for the future generation in the field of education.

It will not be far distant when Anabu will vie, if not for first, at least for second place among barrios school of Imus I District.
