History
The Education High School is a separate institution from the UST High School. EHS was established to give quality Catholic education to those deserving students who cannot afford to pay the fees required by other schools. It also serves as the training ground for fourth year BSE students of the UST College of Education. This laboratory school was established during the time of Rector Magnificus Rev. Fr. Angel De Blas, O.P. through the help of the Dean of the College of Education, Rev. Fr. Aurelio Valbuena and Mrs. Caridad Sevilla, the EHS principal, and the different critic teachers of the College of Education. Classes commenced on August 1, 1950 A number of faculty members from the College comprised the first set of critic teachers for the different subject areas in the EHS. They were: Mercedes G. Santamaria, Clemencia J. Colayco, Rosario D. Bondoc, Concepcion Leonor, Antonia P. Villanueva, Consuel Perdices The first regular teachers were Concepcion Alba, Rosario Mauricio, Lourdes Z. Sevilla and Teresita R. Villamil. There were 361 students in the first enrollment of the EHS. There were 10 sections in the first year, 2 sections for the second year and 2 for third year. Half of those sections were attended in the morning by girls, half in the afternoon by boys. In order to give religious and leadership training and to strengthen unity and cooperation among the students, religious and secular organizations were founded. Among them were Student Catholic Action Units for the boys and girls and the Knights of Jesus for the Boys. Arturo De Leon served as their Adviser. The Boy Scouts were adopted to give some training to male students.
