Manuel Araullo High School

Manuel Araullo High School, commonly known as  Araullo High School, situated in Ermita, Manila, Philippines, is one of the oldest public high schools in the city. 

Timeline

 Before acquiring its name, the school originated as Manila High School — an institute already existing since 1906. In 1921, the Manila city government mandated secondary schools in each of its four districts: Manila North High School, Manila East High School, and Manila West High School. — and  Manila High School was designated as Manila South High School.Manila Ordinance 1603, dated June 8, 1930

 In June 1930, yet again, the schools in each Manila quadrant were renamed after jurists; Cayetano Arellano (North), Victorino Mapa (East), Florentino Torres (West) — and Manila South High School became Manuel Araullo High School to honor the departed third Chief Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court.

 The school was completely destroyed during the bombings of World War II. However, starting 1949, annexes of a renewed Manuel Araullo High School were deployed in different locations of Manila; until 1962 when its present-day campus in Ermita, Manila was decided. Currently, the school has around 6,000 students enrolled.
