General Pio del Pilar National High School (abbreviated as: GPDPNHS, filipino: Mataas na Paaralang Pambansa ng Heneral Pio del Pilar, informal: Pio) is a Public Secondary School located in Osias St., Barangay Poblacion, Makati. It offers the K-12 curriculum set by the Department of Education for its Grade 7 - 10 students.

History[edit]

Being the first private high school in Makati, Pio del Pilar Educational Institute (PDEI) did a pioneering venture not only in the field of private education but also in high school education in Makati. It was founded in 1947 by former Senator Jovito Salonga.[3]

Its first site was in J. Rizal Avenue cor. Escuela St. until it relocated in F. Zobel St. cor. Morong St., both in Barangay Poblacion.[3] PDEI's existence lasted until 1999 until it was bought by the School Board of the City Government of Makati.

After being purchased, it was renamed as “Makati High School – Pio Del Pilar Annex (MHS – PDP)” under the leadership of Ms. Ma. Corazon L. Jose as the Principal in June 2001.[4]

On June 28, 2002, it gained its independence thus becoming the General Pio del Pilar National Highschool providing quality education for its constituents.

Campus[edit]

Old Building[edit]

The old building was located on F. Zobel St. cor. Morong St., Barangay Poblacion, Makati City. Today, the old building is being re-use as an office of COMELEC along the vicinity of the Makati City Hall[5]

New Building[edit]

On May 2, 2014, Makati Science High School transferred to the controversial 10-story building on Kalayaan Avenue, Cembo, Taguig City (formerly Makati).[6][7] After the transition, the General Pio del Pilar Nation High School took over the 4-story building.
