Manila High School (Manila)

Philippines / National Capital Region / Manila / Muralla
 high school, public school
The original Manila High School was located on the same site where it is found today, inside the Walled City or Intramuros, bastion of Spanish governance. When the Americans took reigns over the Spanish authorities, the Philippines having been ceded to the US government when the Spaniards lost their war against the former, The Filipino-American War ensued in 1898 and again the building was used as a hospital. The American Forces proved too much for the Filipinos so that relative peace was achieved and in 1906, the Americans reverted the building to its original use. Thus was established the first public secondary school in the country and was named Manila High School, right where the school is located at present, corner Victoria and Muralla Street.

The National Historical Institute declared Manila High School a historical site and a marker was unveiled on February 26, 1982 by Carlos P. Romulo.
