Tanjay Science High School
Tanjay City Science High School (TCSHS) is a secondary public high school system located in Opao, Tanjay City, Negros Oriental, Philippines. It is a DepEd-recognized science high school. It is located near two of Tanjay's premier public schools: Tanjay City South Central School (then known as Opao Elementary School) and Tanjay National High School (the then Tanjay Municipal High School). It is considered as one of the most popular public schools in Tanjay City, performing better in several division-level academic contests compared with other private-owned and public high schools. The city's private-owned high schools are Diaz College (then East Negros Institute), Immaculate Heart Academy, Casa Marie Learning Institute, and Villaflores College (then Tanjay Institute).
Its first set of graduates composed of 13 students only. Following that year, TCSHS moved from Ilaud to Opao where its present campus is now located. Through the years, the school has produced numbers of excellent students and graduates performing well in their college, and some graduated with Latin awards.
One of TCSHS assets is its high-profile teachers like Mrs. Milagros Suyo, Mrs. Marilou Gemira, and Mr. Alex Parane who later became school principals after teaching several years in the school. Mrs. Kim Salazar (scholar and graduate of music, composer, and singer)who now teaches music in New Mexico, USA, has also taught in the institution. Mr. Edouardo Cortez, also a former teacher in the school, now works in UAE.
A great change happened to the school in early 2011 when the division of Tanjay announced its new principal in the person of Mr. Adonis Torres, a resident before of Brgy 2, now moved to Brgy 1, Tanjay City, replacing Mrs. Elsie Señeris, principal of the school since 2003.

Famous quotes containing the words high school, science, high and/or school:
“Someday soon, we hope that all middle and high school will have required courses in child rearing for girls and boys to help prepare them for one of the most important and rewarding tasks of their adulthood: being a parent. Most of us become parents in our lifetime and it is not acceptable for young people to be steeped in ignorance or questionable folklore when they begin their critical journey as mothers and fathers.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“For twenty-five centuries, Western knowledge has tried to look upon the world. It has failed to understand that the world is not for the beholding. It is for hearing. It is not legible, but audible. Our science has always desired to monitor, measure, abstract, and castrate meaning, forgetting that life is full of noise and that death alone is silent: work noise, noise of man, and noise of beast. Noise bought, sold, or prohibited. Nothing essential happens in the absence of noise.”
—Jacques Attali (b. 1943)
“Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise. Once and again one of those great influences which we call a Cause arises in the midst of a nation. Men of strenuous minds and high ideals come forward.... The attacks they sustain are more cruel than the collision of arms.... Friends desert and despise them.... They stand alone and oftentimes are made bitter by their isolation.... They are doing nothing less than defy public opinion, and shall they convert it by blows. Yes.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
