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:
“When I was in high school I thought a vocation was a particular calling. Here’s a voice: “Come, follow me.” My idea of a calling now is not: “Come.” It’s like what I’m doing right now, not what I’m going to be. Life is a calling.”
—Rebecca Sweeney (b. 1938)
“You are all fundamentalists with a top dressing of science. That is why you are the stupidest of conservatives and reactionists in politics and the most bigoted of obstructionists in science itself. When it comes to getting a move on you are all of the same opinion: stop it, flog it, hang it, dynamite it, stamp it out.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The best conversation is rare. Society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions; and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“...I believed passionately that Communists were a race of horned men who divided their time equally between the burning of Nancy Drew books and the devising of a plan of nuclear attack that would land the largest and most lethal bomb squarely upon the third-grade class of Thomas Jefferson School in Morristown, New Jersey.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
