A Brief History of Manila Science High School
- The
Manila Science High School is presently located at the corner of Taft
Avenue-P. Faura Streets It was previously located at the corner of
Victoria-Muralla Streets in Intramuros, Manila.
- The
Manila Science High School, then the Special Science Classes, was formerly
under the Manila High School. Mr. Augusto Alzona, principal of Manila High
School, is largely credited with the establishment of the MSHS, thus his
appellation “Father of Manila Science High School.”
- Mr.
Alzona worked hand in hand with the Bureau of Public Schools to set up a
training ground for the future scientists of the Philippines.
- A
memorandum dated October 12, 1959 issued by Superintendent of City Schools
Abdon Javier provided that a science high school be established in
accordance with a BPS memorandum dated September 29, 1959.
- On
October 24, 1959, upon recommendation of their respective principals and
with the written permission of their parents, seven gifted freshmen from
each high school took a series of tests at the Manila High School.
- The
36 students who passed the examinations formed the nucleus of the Manila
Science High School. The first science class opened on the 25th of
November 1959.
- During
its second year, the first batch became officially known as the Special
Science Class. This class made a first in the history of Philippine
education when all of its members became gold medalist during their
graduation in 1963.
- That
same year, the Special Science Classes, by virtue of Municipal Resolution
No. 426 approved by the Mayor on October 1, 1963, was formally separated
from Manila High and called the Manila Science High School, the first
science high school in Manila and in the Philippines.
- The
organization and curriculum of the MSHS patterned after that of New York’s
Bronx Science High School puts more emphasis on the sciences and
mathematics.
- Because
the MSHS aims to turn out “scientists with souls,” the humanities and
other electives are included in the curriculum.
- It’s
not “all work and no play” for the young Einstein and Pythagoras’, they
take time out from tight schedules to participate in various
extracurricular activities.
- The
school has a well-organized student organ.
- Small
though it may be, the MSHS has acquired some measure of fame made possible
by its alumni and the present crop of students.
- The
Manila Science High School poses a challenge for greatness, advancement,
and prosperity to the Filipino youth.
