History

ANRRENN

A historical marker in the school

The site of Manggahan High School was once a private drug rehabilitation center called Anti-Narcotics Research and Reformation Network (ANRRENN). It was reported that the center was operating illegally and the National Housing Authority owned the lot. Because of these complaints, the operation of the center stopped and the NHA donated the lot to the city government of Pasig.[6]

S.Y. 1999-2000 of RHS Annex-Manggahan

The first building (present-day V.P.E. I Building) was constructed in 1998 under the administration of Mayor Vicente P. Eusebio and inaugurated on May 29, 1999 by Rev. Fr. Jorge Jesus Bellosillo of Immaculate Conception Quasi-Parish (present-day Immaculate Conception Parish). Rizal High School Annex-Manggahan started to operate with Mrs. Nancy J. Tolentino as Head Teacher-in-charge.

There were 430 first year and 210 second year, a total of 640 initial numbers of students who enrolled with 21 teachers. At the start of classes, the rooms were bare, no school decks, no blackboards. Some students brought their own stool for them not to squat on the floor. The needs of teachers and students were aired on television and printed on newspapers; thus, for the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports to provide the basic classroom facilities.

To cope up with the growing number of enrollees each year, DPWH Building was constructed into SCE III, which was a 6-storey building.

School Hymn

"Manggahan Hymn"
Official Tagalog lyrics[8]

Mahal naming paaralan,
Kami ay nagpupugay,
Mga puso'y inaalay,
Paggalang at Pagmamahal.

Pagbabago'y naganap sa aming buhay,
Kaalama'y ibinigay,
Pagtuturo't paghuhubog sa tuwina,
Lahat alay sa'yo.

KORO:

Manggahan, aming paaralan,
Mahal naming Alma Mater,
Manggahan, aming paaralan,
Mahal naming Alma Mater.

Sa tulong ng Maykapal,
Ngalan mo'y itatanghal,
Habang nabubuhay,
Di ka namin malilimutan.

Pagbabago'y naganap sa aming buhay,
Kaalama'y ibinigay,
Pagtuturo't paghuhubog sa tuwina,
Lahat alay sa'yo.

KORO:

Manggahan, aming paaralan,
Mahal naming Alma Mater,
Manggahan, aming paaralan,
Mahal naming Alma Mater,

Mahal naming Alma Mater.
