History
MOSCAT started as Claveria Municipal High School in 1963 with 165 students and five teachers under the leadership of its first administrator, the late Romeo Abilo. In 1967, it was converted to Claveria National Rural High School (CNRHS) by virtue of RA 3781 under the staunch leadership of the late Marcos Edrolin. On June 10, 1983, Batas Pambansa 402 was approved and converted the CNRHS to Misamis Oriental State College of Agriculture and Technology or MOSCAT with Arsenio B. Gonzales as its first president. Gonzales’ term was highlighted by the Republic of The Philippines-European Union Agricultural Education Grant providing more facilities and machinery, vehicles, buildings and faculty training locally and abroad. During his period, the notable Model Farm was established showcasing sustainable upland farming technologies.
In 1996, Dr. Teresita T. Tumapon was appointed as officer-in-charge. She strengthened local and international linkages such as Barangay Integrated Approached for Nutrition Improvement (BIDANI), the Agroforestry Support Program for Empowering Communities Towards Self-reliance in Sustainable Development of the Uplands and the International Center for Research in Agroforestry.
Dr. Juan A. Nagtalon became its second president from 1998 until 2006. He spearheaded the accreditation of the existing academic programs, planted strong foundations in his administration and espoused the philosophy of MOSCAT HEIRS (Harmony, Excellence, Integrity, Responsibility and Service to God, country and mankind). These past administrators left indelible marks of unprecedented improvements that resulted its present stature of today.[3]
