Adult Night High School
The Adult Night High School was opened as a form of outreach to the underprivileged who would want to finish their high schooling. It was established during School Year 1997-1998 during the term of Dr. Judith Aldaba. Classes were first held at the Putatan Elementary School and was composed of 69 students in two freshman classes with ages ranging from 14 to 41. Classes were relocated to the Alabang Elementary School during the following schoolyear. In 1999, classes were held at the main campus of De La Salle Zobel. Its first Director was Evangeline de Peralta. De La Salle Santiago Zobel's own alumnus, Frederick A. Halcon, who became the ANHS's first full-time faculty member in SY 2001-02, taught Mathematics and Economics under the leadership of Ms. Rebecca Telen. Halcon went on to become the Director of De La Salle University's Interdisciplinary Business Studies program from 2006–2008, making him one of the youngest administrators of the school. Halcon belongs to De La Salle Santiago Zobel's first batch of Prep students in 1985. He also served as the Sports Editor of Young Observer from 1992–1993 and Features Editor of the Counterpoint in 1996-1997. Halcon is also the lone recipient of the Exemplary Conduct Award in the Commencement Exercises of his batch in March 1997.

Year after year in gloom, and desolate despair;
A messenger of Hope comes every night to me,
And offers for short life, eternal liberty.”

For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usna’s children died.”
