History
Dasmariñas, the heart of learning institutions of Cavite has rapidly developed. It is now recognized as a City. Indeed, it is a cradle of education.
By virtue of Republic Act No. 7084 the aim of establishing a high school within the boundaries of the old town of the City of Dasmariñas came into reality on August 2, 1991 when former President Corazon C. Aquino signed the bill into law through the initiatives of Congressman Renato P. Dragon, former Mayor Recto M. Cantimbuhan and Sangguniang Bayan Efren Aledia. Several years later, the approved bill was signed into a law creating a National High School in Via Verde Village, San Agustin II, with a lot area of 19, 000 sq. m, budgeted with 3.5 million pesos. The two-storey school building was named DRCHS-Congressional High School. It is approximately 1½ km away from the town proper of Dasmariñas. The school is bounded by Southcrest Village in the east, Summerwind Village IV in the south, Manuelaville in the southwest, San Agustin III in the west and San Agustin I in the north. It was on June 1, 1998, when it was formally opened to the public by an indefatigable man, Mr. Rafael D. Reyes, DNHS principal at that time (now retired) with the young and dynamic Mr. Emmanuel L. Resurreccion as its Teacher-in-Charge (such school is the 8th annex of DRCHS-Main, and so). Many expressed their views that it is an ideal place for learning. The initial enrolment was only 155 students and all freshmen. As more families keep on coming from different barangays and subdivisions of Dasmariñas town proper, youngsters from these families come and study at CNHS.

On June 24, 2004, as per order from the Department of Education and Department of Budget and Management Office, the Congressional National High School is not an annex or should not be annex of the DNHS Main rather an independent high school. The school was blessed with the people who shared the same passion and concern for the welfare of its students. Through the PTA, grills were put in place on the once bare building to safeguard the students. The following politicians, government agencies and NGO kindheartedly granted the additional facilities for the improvement of the school: Hon. Renato Dragon, 2 storey-building (8 classrooms); Hon. Atty. Elpidio F. Barzaga, Electrical connections, pathwalk, stage, 2 storey-building (4 classrooms) and cementing of grounds; Hon. Ayong S. Maliksi, 2 classrooms, 2-storey building (4 classrooms); Hon. Panfilo Lacson, 2 classrooms; DTI / PCPS Project, 20 Personal Computers; Ayala Foundation, 1 Personal Computer and networking; Hon. Gilbert Remulla, 5 Personal Computers; and Jeollabuk-Do Office of Education, Republic of Korea through the initiative of Hon. Ayong Maliksi, 20 Personal Computers. The continuing improvement of the school facilities which will provide a fertile ground for students’ growth are made possible under the very able leadership of the School Head and forged strong partnership with the teachers, parents and barangay officials of San Agustin II, San Agustin III and Langkaan II.
Now looking back from its humble beginnings, the school would never reach this far without the man who took the helm and steered its course and with the collaborative efforts of the ever dependable teachers and parents and of course the legislators and local executives who provided the much needed funding. The school is continuously meeting the challenges of times to produce graduates who are socially responsive, morally upright and academically equipped.
