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.

Famous quotes containing the words adult, night, high and/or school:
“We are all adult learners. Most of us have learned a good deal more out of school than in it. We have learned from our families, our work, our friends. We have learned from problems resolved and tasks achieved but also from mistakes confronted and illusions unmasked. . . . Some of what we have learned is trivial: some has changed our lives forever.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“The first night after guests have gone, the house
Seems haunted or exposed.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“And so they have left us feeling tired and old.
They never cared for school anyway.
And they have left us with the things pinned on the bulletin board.
And the night, the endless, muggy night that is invading our school.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
