Manuel Araullo High School, commonly known as Araullo High School, situated in Ermita, Manila, Philippines, is one of the oldest public high schools in the city.

Timeline

  • Before acquiring its name, the school originated as Manila High School — an institute already existing since 1906. In 1921, the Manila city government mandated secondary schools in each of its four districts: Manila North High School, Manila East High School, and Manila West High School. — and Manila High School was designated as Manila South High School.[3]
  • The school was completely destroyed during the bombings of World War II.[5] However, starting 1949, annexes of a renewed Manuel Araullo High School were deployed in different locations of Manila; until 1962 when its present-day campus in Ermita, Manila was decided. Currently, the school has around 6,000 students enrolled.[2]
