Tala High School, which was formerly located in administration Site, Tala Leprosarium, was once a satellite school of Caloocan High School in Bukid Area. With the concerted effort of the parents with the PTA President Mr. Simon Patawaran, a secondary high school was named as Tala Barangay High School was established in 1967 where the very first year students with 5 secondary teachers were housed in one of the buildings in Tala Elementary School. Under the supervision of an elementary principal, it continued to complete the four year levels.

                As years passed, enrolment had been increasing and due to the lack of classrooms, teachers conducted their classes on the stage and even under trees until such time that the school was separated in the elementary and it was named Tala Barrio High School with Dr. Cesar L. Gayod as the first secondary principal. With his effort, he was able to put an Annex High School to another site near Glorietta Park-the present Tala Post Office. In 1980, Dr. Gayod worked for another site and this is nor the present location where TALA HIGH SCHOOL stands. With 10, 300 sq. meters, the school started with the Chinese Chamber building with two classrooms and the teachers built “kubos” as their classrooms. Others conducted classes under the trees.

                From then on, Dr. Gayod continued to support, work and serve the school until additional buildings were constructed. Through the years, students, staff and community had always pointed with pride to the physical plant of Tala High School which caters students coming from Brgy. 176, Bagong Silang, Brgy. 187 and 188, Tala, Bgy. 175, Camarin North, Phase 6 and Brgy. 186, Administration Site and nearby vicinity.
