ABOUT US
.: The
Organization
Zamboanga City High School has a total population of 9,951 today - a far cry
from its humble beginning way back 1945 which marked the formal opening of
the school with classes held under tents donated by the United States Army.
ZCHS has now become the Regional Leader School offering programs like the
School for the Arts (SPA), a four year curriculum, Special Education for the
hearing Impaired, a five year curriculum, the Balik Paaralan for Out of School
Adults that caters to students ages 30 years old and above four year curriculum,
the Special Science classes (ESEP) and the regular curriculum.
Founded on August 28, 1945 as a counterpart of the Provincial High School
in Dipolog, Zamboanga City High School has risen from its lowly state. As
a response to its first principal's suggestion, another school was created
in a new site at the old Lantaka flats where its first classes were held,
and this was called East City High School while the original one located in
Baliwasan, was named West City High School.
In 1956-57, the two schools were merged into one high school. It was then
moved to Pettit Barracks, the present site of Zamboanga City High School (Main).
Along with its progress, were professionals it has produced, some of who are
the high-ranking officials of Zamboanga City today. Known lawyers, engineers,
nurses and many others sentimentally looked back at Zamboanga City High School
where their potentials were harnessed and developed.
At present, Mrs. Eloisa B. Ruste, is the sixth principal and is on her 13th
year at the helm of ZCHS Main.
Today, with 9,951 students and 350 teachers, and 11 support personnel the
school has long since outgrown the old main campus and has moved lock, stock,
and barrel to a new and much bigger home in Tetuan.
As the school
continues to grow, its journey towards the development of the school system
and the success of its students continues to be its top priority.
The contribution of ZCHS Main to Zamboanga City's progress and development
will always remain - for its teachers are equipped with skills and knowledge
and are dedicated to keep the school's fire forever burning.
ZCHS Main will continue its remarkable achievements and continue to give quality
education to the children of Zamboanga City. Of that, all can be sure.
