History
editThe Education High School (EHS) is a separate institution from the UST High School. EHS was established to give Catholic education to 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.
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.
