Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades (INCAT) is a public institution in the Philippines founded in 1908.[1] [2] Accredited by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, it offers technical and vocational courses[3] [4] as well as teacher education training.[5] [6] [7] Its main campus is located along P. Gomez St., Brgy. San Pedro, Laoag.[8]

History

In 1906, first year high school classes were established in the Acosta Building, along with elementary grades. The first permanent building, Ilocos Norte Provincial High School, opened in 1909. By 1916, all four levels of high school courses were taught.[9]

A new school building was built in 1929 on the present site of Ilocos Norte College of Arts and Trades. In June 1941 that building was razed by fire, and classes were subsequently held in the grandstands of the provincial grounds and in local rented houses. After the Japanese occupation was over, the United States aided in the rehabilitation of the building with the Rehabilitation Act of 1946.

In 1964, the Valdez-Raquiza sponsored Republic Act No. 3989 approved conversion of the school to Ilocos Norte National High School, which was implemented July 1965.[10]
