Tabon Maximino Estrella National High School (TMENHS) was formerly named Tabon Maximino Estrella Barangay High School. When it was nationalized, the name was changed to Tabon Maximino Estrella National High School. The first word of its name is taken from the name of the barangay where it is located and Maximino is taken in honor of the father of the late Congressman Ernesto T. Estrella, the lot donor.

    The school was established through the enactment of Barangay Resolution No. 13, series of 1980, initiated by the Barangay Council of Tabon, headed by the late Barangay Captain Adelio G. Plaza.
