• History & Memorable Moments

Chiang Kai Shek High School, the forerunner of this College, was founded by the late Principal, Mr. Wong Chun Seng, the late Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Mr. Yu Khe Thai, and other prominent Chinese in Manila in June 1939 with an initial population of 273 students. It was named after Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek for the young Chinese-Filipinos to emulate the great personality and spirit of the late president. Three years later, the school bore the brunt of the Pacific War - it was heavily damaged, its fourteen teachers and students killed for participating in underground activities. ^[1]

In June 1945, through the effort and arrangements of the former Acting Principal Huang Chi Hwa, the school temporarily opened five review classes for senior and junior high school students. When Mr. Huang left for China in October, Mr. Pao Shih Tien was designated as the officer-in-charge by the Board of Trustees. ^[1]

Mr. Wong Chun Seng returned to Manila in November and was reappointed as the Principal by the Board of Trustees, with Dr. Pao Shih Tien as Acting Principal to assist him. The school reopened in December 1945. Under the efficient administration and management of the late Principal, together with the support of the Chinese community, the school acquired its present site. Student population was close to one thousand when the school moved to its new site in August 1948. ^[1]

On June 15, 1951, the Board of Trustees amended the organization of the school's administration by adding the position of Vice-Principal. Dr. Pao Shih Tien was appointed to this position. In 1955, a Normal School that offered a two-year course for training Chinese teachers opened. Principal Wong Chun Seng died in March 1956. Vice-Principal Pao Shih Tien temporarily took charge of the school's administration until May 1956 when the Board of Trustees appointed its Chairman Yu Khe Thai as Principal and Dr. Pao Shih Tien as Vice-Principal. On April 29, 1959 the Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of Mr. Charles as Principal and appointed Dr. Pao Shih Tien as his successor. ^[1]

The Wong Chun Seng Memorial Pre-School, was established in 1958. It offered a one-year Nursery Course and a two-year Kindergarten Course. ^[1]

In 1965, this school became a college with the initial offering of two (2) four-year collegiate courses - Bachelor of Science in Education (B.S.E.), Major in Chinese Literature and History; and Bachelor of Science in Education, Major in General Education. Dr. Pao Shih Tien was the first College President. The High School Department than had a three-year Senior High School and a three-year Junior High School. In 1966, the school started offering four-year courses in Commerce (B.S.C.)with majors in Accounting, Management, Banking and Finance. In 1968, with the opening of the Elementary Course, CKSC became an institution that offers education from kindergarten to college levels. ^[1]

In June 1976, all Chinese schools were Filipinized under the new constitution and Presidential Decree 176. All courses offered in the Collegiate Department are now in accordance with the standard requirements prescribed by the Department of Education. In addition to B.S.E. and B.S.C., Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (B.S.C.S.) and other two-year courses have been offered since 1992. In the High School Department, aside from the four-year General Secondary Course in English, only Chinese Language Arts subjects are allowed to be offered. Granted a permit to offer a two-year College Preparatory Course in Chinese in which some subjects in the previous senior high school curriculum used to be taught, CKSC also offers Chinese Language Arts subjects in the elementary school, besides the complete six-year Elementary Course in English. ^[1]

In June 1979, Dr. Jimmy Su took over the helm of the College, following the retirement of Dr. Pao Shih Tien who had served the school for forty years. After the death of Chairman Yu Khe Thai in April 1983, Dr. Pao Shih Tien assumed office as the Chairman, while Messrs. Dy Tiong, Leoncio Chungunco and Santiago Cua as Vice Chairman. ^[1]

With the retirement of Dr. Jimmy Su in March 1989, the Board of Trustees appointed Mr. Chien Yin Shao as the President of the College. Mr. Chien Yin Shao retired in May 1994. Mrs. Joan Sy Cotio was designated by the Board of Trustees as Acting President. Seven months later, she was appointed to lead the administration as the College President. ^[1]

On 2007, Joan Sy-Cotio after serving for many years resigned as the college president. Dr.Bee Ching Ong Kian Koc was designated by the Board of Trustees as the new college president. ^[1]

On January 12, 2008, (at the University of the Philippines Balay Kalinaw), Stephanie Anne Oliveros, a senior student of Philippine Science High School, Quezon City topped the 10th Philippine Mathematical Olympiad (PMO) over 15 other students. Second was Jillian Kristel Sy of Chiang Kai Shek College and third was Diogo Moitinho de Almeida of Ateneo de Manila High School. The PMO winners will compete in the 2008 International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in Spain. ^[1]
