Doña Teodora Alonzo High School is a high school in Manila, Philippines. Open since 1961, the school's current principal is Mr. Rodrigo G. Natividad. The school's newspapers have received a number of regional awards. == Early Years == Manila City ordinance 1934 of 1961 gave birth to the Doña Teodora Alonzo High School when it provided that “for some effective administration, big schools should be divided into small independences”. As early as July 1959, four branches of Cayetano Arellano High School—Zurbaran, Mayhaligue, Santander and O’Donnell Annexes—were ordered to transfer to one big building at Teodora Alonzo Street. The four annexes were fused and recognized as T. Alonzo Annexes of Arellano High School. The late Gregoria Reyes was assigned as Executive Coordinator of all school activities assisted by three Officers-In-Charge, each assigned to one floor; Mr. Pedro Agbayani for the first floor, Ms. Benita de Jesus for the second floor, and Mr. Ambrosio Rector for the third floor. Two years after, August 16, 1961, the T. Alonzo Annex was proclaimed as an independent school –the Doña Teodora Alonzo High School. In its early years as an independent high school and newest additions of secondary schools in the City of Manila, there were 2,934 students among the 45 sections for the freshmen and 14 sections for the sophomores. There were 98 teachers, one guidance counselor headed by Ms. Ester Gaudinez; two department heads - Ms. Beatriz Low and Mr. Vallejo for the Vocational Department; two school librarians - Ms. Simplicia Galvez and Ms. Mercedes Alberto; school nurse - Ms. Marcelina Zambrano; seven janitors and a night guard. Mrs. Gregoria Reyes was assigned as the school’s Assistant Principal and Ms. Carmen Javier, then Assistant Principal of Arellano High School designated as the school’s pioneering Principal. It was not until September 1962 that the school was given the permanent name ''Doña Teodora Alonzo High School'', approved by the City Council during the term of then-mayor Arsenio H. Lacson. In 1962 Mrs. Javier spearheaded the conduct of evening classes, a milestone in the history of the school. The night school started with four sections for the first year, three for the third year and one for the fourth year. Only six students composed of its batch graduated. The graduates joined the graduation ceremony of the day classes. The school was the smallest among the five big schools pioneered in the night academic classes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Doña Teodora Alonzo High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
