Our Logo
Our school, from the moment it was founded in 1930 hasn’t changed its Logo for nearly a decade now. Not until the past administration, Mr. Graciano A. Budoy Jr., decided on its modification. While the torch, the laurel wreath and the book still remain as part of the old logo, the silhouette of the face of none other than Don Tomas N. Earnshaw, who was also a former Manila Mayor, was placed at the center of the school’s symbol, as a tribute to his love for education.
The dominant black and white color of the logo represents equality and fairness in all aspects of education, while the golden ring represents prosperity. The torch symbolizes the light that guides our pupils to pursue their dreams and aspirations. The open book stands for truth, infinite knowledge and wisdom, which our pupils need, for them to achieve their goals in life. The two branches of laurel wreath not only is the symbol of victory during the ancient times, for which this institution continue to do justice in terms of sports, it also depicts excellence in academics, as demonstrated by the achievements of the school and its population during the many years of its existence.

Our History
In the 1920's the children of Punta braved to cross the wide Pasig River to attend classes at Sta. Ana Elementary School. What seemed then as a pleasurable daily adventure was cut only when the river become treacherous during the rainy months and at which time, they were forced to skip classes for their safety. Worried over these school children's safety, the city authorities then decided to have a school right where they live. The first public school in Punta became reality in 1930.
Tomas Earnshaw Elementary School was originally an oil factory building rented out of the city government and renovated to accommodate a school population of about 200 pupils. It was named after a very distinguished personality, highly respected and much loved by Manilans in those times, the 6th mayor of Manila, Tomas N. Earnshaw. Today his bust stands conspicuously on one side of the quadrangle so that the pupils may take cognizance of the man after whom their school was named.
While today's TEES bears no trace of the original which was modest structure entirely made of wood, its humble beginnings have not, through the ensuing years, been relegated to obscurity. Rather, they have became part of the yearly observance of Tomas Earnshaw Day, an occasion for teachers and pupils to remember the school's pioneer's, the 12 teachers under stewardship of the first principal, the late Mr. Francisco Romero, the first pupils, all who were part of the humble and dearly remembered school building.
TEES now has the status of a school III by virtue of its enrolment size. The large concrete school building looms prominently along A. Bautista Street, Punta's main road. It was by itself, a symbol of the great changes that occurred over the years. Presently, it has a population of _2, 265_ pupils and _70__ teaching and non-teaching personnel. Its size and facilities are ideal by urban standards.
The present school administration has the same noble purpose that past administrator nurtured. And that is, to have a school with a distinctive mark of excellence. This purpose shared by the teachers made TEES what it is today. Its story will continue to grow. A tradition has been set. It will be kept.
