Long ago, Aetas and Igorots lived in the

barangay. A rich place with vast agricultural land. It is surrounded by mountains with thick trees where wild animals live. In this paradise lives ikong and Masing, a picture of good husband and wife. They were endowed with virtues and industry, strength and courage. Ikong is a very good blacksmith. He earns a living by hunting wild boars, deers and birds. Masing is the beauteous wife of Ikong who does all the household chores. Their house is the model one in the barangay. It has only one long post just like the house of a drove. 

Every time Ikong went out to hunt, he removes the stairs of their house so that nobody could disturb his wife.

The Aetas envied this family very much. They wanted to kill Masing not only because she is a model wife but also possesses some power. She also has an extra-ordinary ladle. The arrows of the Aetas never hit her because the laddle war her shield. The Aetas attacked her whenever Ikong went hunting and whenever she is cooking. Masing then shouted for help and Ikong immediately came to her rescue. The Aetas run away and hid. The incident was repeated many times until finally they decided to leave and transfer to another place.

Years passed the people were civilized. Kerim Dilim, the first man who educated gave the name “Masicong” to this barangay coming from the name of Masing and Ikong, in remembrance of the first couple who lived once in the area.

Masicong is situated in the Eastern side of the City of San Fernando with a land area of 295 hectares and 10 kms away from the city proper. Bounded by barangay Cabarsican at the North, Sacyud at the east, barangay Sibuan-Otong at the West and barangay Bancagan, Naguilian, La Union at the South.

Way back on the past years, the school started where classrooms were made from bamboo and cogon grass. At first, the school as a multi-grade class. Later, as enrolment increased, classrooms were concretized and galvanized. As people migrated to the place, enrolment increased to considerable number, thus, buildings were built one after the other. Old and dilapidated buildings were replaced with new ones. Today, the Provincial and City Government, together with the DepEd continue to build and repair classrooms buildings.

School heads of Masicong Elementary School come and go after some years of services in the school. Some of them were Mr. Elpidio Lagasca, Mrs. Jovita A. Lazaro, Miss Rosa G. Casuga, Mrs. Teresita Flores, Miss Florenda T. Flores, Mrs. Arlene a. Niro, Mrs. Perlita F. Abat, Mrs. Elizabeth G. Gurtiza, Mrs. Maria Cristina D. Nerona, Miss Relyn A. Daganta, Mrs. Gina B. Boado, Mr. William A. Tubera, Mrs. Alma G. Balubar and the current school head is Mr. Ramoel S. Espinueva.
