Ponce High School

About

The Ponce High School is a public educational institution in Ponce that teaches grades ten through twelve. The school's main building is a historic structure located in the Ponce Historic Zone. From its beginning, the school has secured a unique place in Puerto Rico's educational history. Of over 3,000 schools erected in Puerto Rico in the first quarter of the twentieth century, Ponce High was the largest, "at a time enrolling more students than all the other Puerto Rico high schools combined." For many years, it enrolled more students than any other high school in Puerto Rico. The building was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on August 4, 1987. The school has the only diamond-level DECA chapter in Puerto Rico.
