Ponce High School
The Ponce High School is public educational institution in Ponce, Puerto Rico, offering grades ten through twelve. The school's main building is a historic structure located on Cristina Street, in the Ponce Historic Zone. From its beginning the school has secured a unique place in Puerto Rico's educational history. Of over 3,000 schools erected in Puerto Rico in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Ponce High was the largest, "at a time enrolling more students than all the other Puerto Rico high schools combined", and for many years enrolling more students than any other high school in Puerto Rico.〔(Annual report of the Governor of Puerto Rico to the Secretary of War: 1913. By Puerto Rico Governor. Washington Government Printing Office. ) Retrieved March 14, 2010.〕 The cost of the building in 1915 dollars was $150,000 USD.〔(Annual report of the Secretary of War. United States War Department. 1916. Page 325. )〕 The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on August 4, 1987.〔Mariano G. Coronas Castro, Certifying Official; Jorge Rigau, AIA, Form Preparer, Colacion. Inc. (San Juan, Puerto Rico) March 16, 1987. In ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form''. United States Department of the Interior. National Park Service. (Washington, D.C.) Page 1. Listing Reference Number 87001310. August 4, 1987.〕 The school has the only diamond-level DECA chapter in Puerto Rico.〔(''Sobresalen alumnos de la Ponce High.'' Periodico La Perla del Sur. )〕
==History==
The history of the institution dates back to January 1899. On 25 January 1899 a historic fire took place on the lot currently occupied by the High School. The fire is known as the "Fuego del Polvorín" (the Fire of the Ammunitions Depot). At that time the lot was used as a U.S. Army ammunitions depot. Today a register marks the location of the fire.〔(''Bomberos evocan a héroes del Polvorín.'' ) Sandra Torres Guzmán. La Perla del Sur. Ponce, Puerto Rico. 21 January 2015. Year 322. Issue 1625. Page 10. Retrieved 21 January 2015.〕 In November 1899, the new American government authorized the establishment of a public secondary school in Ponce modeled after the American school system. In 1903 the Roosevelt Industrial School was built on land where the US military had its munitions depot that caused the fire.〔(Encyclopedia Puerto Rico. ''Ponce: Ponce High.'' )〕 Five years after ''El Polvorin'', in the 1904-1905 timeframe, a two-story building with 12 classrooms was built to accommodate the Ruiz Gandia Grammar School in the same spacious ''El Polvorin'' lot. The first class of Ponce High School students formed in 1902.〔(Report of the Commissioner of Education, for the year ending June 30, 1905. Volume 1. United States Bureau of Education. 1907. Page 317. )〕 As new facilities were completed, the students were moved to them. For the 1907-1908 school year another building was built called the McKinley building, and the Ponce High students occupied said facilities as well. Construction of the now-historic Ponce High School building on Cristina Street started in 1915 and the building was inaugurated in 1920.〔(University of Puerto Rico Law Library.
