Abucay Elementary School has a rich historical background, with references indicating it has also been known as Tomas Pinpin Memorial Elementary School. The campus was originally built during the Spanish period and later rebuilt with U.S. assistance, reflecting the evolving educational landscape of the Philippines.
Tomas Pinpin, known as the "Prince of Filipino Printers," was a Filipino printer and writer who is commemorated through the school's alternative name. His legacy represents the importance of education and literacy in Filipino society.
In 2022, the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) installed a historical marker in Abucay, further cementing the school's place in local heritage and educational history.
