The Establishment of the School
Lucban Elementary School is situated at the Old Lucban Community. Lucban was derived from the Ibaloi dialect, Dubban and Kankanaey dialect. Lubban is a tropical fruit known as Pomelo. Dubban or Lubban was later changed to Lucban, which is the Ilocano term for Pomelo.
(The Ibaloi and Kankanaey are the two dominant tribes of Benguet province. An Ilocano is a native from the Ilocos region. The evolvement of the name Dubban to Lubban to Lucban, characterizes the first settlers of the community).
