Caloocan High School
History
In the Grace Park district of Caloocan, a 2.7-acre (1.1 ha) school site was established on rice fields in 1940. The Gabaldon-style building, which had 6 regular classrooms and 2 smaller rooms for offices, was finished on December 6, 1944, and was prepared for occupancy the following Monday, December 8. The Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor prevented this.
By June 1947, the Cecilio Apostol Elementary School could not accommodate the growing number of high school students. Caloocan High School needed to have its own building. In March 1951, the Vocational building was the location for the commencement ceremony. In June, Caloocan High School's superintendent, Abdon Javier, decided to move there from the buildings in ninth.
Such an improvement under the leadership of Rizal Governor Isidro Rodriguez could be seen not just in the town but also in other schools in the province of Rizal, despite taking the chance that enrollment would decline. Since Caloocan's conversion to a city in 1962, Caloocan High School has grown. In 1967–1968, the school added to two annexes, Andres Bonifacio High School and Toribio Teodoro Memorial High School.
In 1982, the old buildings in Caloocan High School were demolished to make way for an administration building.120 classrooms are presently housed in these structures. English, Filipino, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, Practical Arts, Home Economics, YD-CAT, and Values Education are among the nine subject areas taught at Caloocan High School, which has a teaching staff of 401. Toribio Teodoro High School, Cecilio Apostol High School, Integrated School for first year, Maria Clara and Tandang Sora annexes were also integrated with Caloocan High School between 1982 and 1983. Each Department is led by a department head or coordinator who oversees and controls the department's operations while also teaching in the department.
The school offers Grade 7 to 12 Junior and Senior High School with Special Programs in Science, Technology and Engineering (STE), Special Education Program (SPED), Open High School Program (OHSP) and Alternative Learning System (ALS).
