Bacolod Tay Tung High School (Traditional Chinese: 描戈律大同中學, Hanyu Pinyin: MíaoGēLù DàTóng ZhòngXue) is a co-educational Chinese institution in Bacolod City, Philippines. The school is a non-stock, non-profit and non-sectarian institution.
Tay Tung (Traditional Chinese: 大同, Hanyu Pinyin: DàTóng) means "Equality for all" – whether rich or poor, regardless of race, creed, and religion – was chosen as the name of the school. This concept was greatly emphasized by Confucius and, appropriately, Tay Tung has for its founder's Day the date when he was born: 28 September.
History[]
Sometime in 1934, the Kuo-Min-Tang (Bacolod Chapter), the Negros Occidental Chamber of Commerce, and the Fil-Sino Organization joined in establishing a Chinese school in Bacolod City. Chinese parents and community leaders had long felt the need for an educational institution where the children of the Chinese community could learn not only the rudiments of English studies but also the arts and culture of the land of their ancestors. The office of the Kuo- Min-Tang at Smith Street served as the first location of the school.
In 1934-1939, Uy Kong Han was the first Principal of 17 enrolled students. Due to financial instability during the early years, there was a time when the school was forced to close its operation. Five years later, in 1939, the organizers were able to raise funds with which to buy a 2,645 square lot at Luzuriaga Street. Here, the school building, library and other school facilities were constructed. Unfortunately, when the Second World War broke out in the latter part of 1941, the school operation was suspended, and resumed in 1945.
In the summer of 1950, the high school curriculum was added to the school offerings. In 1951, a two hectare lot in Libertad Street, the present site of the school, was acquired. Then the school offered 6 years of Chinese studies at the Secondary Level.
