From elementary to high school
Established around 1870, this was the first primary school in Vinh Long province. According to the book Vinh Long Nhon Vat Chi printed in 1925, the school had two famous teachers. The first was teacher Le Dang Khoa, from Tan Giai village, Binh An commune, Vinh Long (now Ward 3, Vinh Long City). Mr. Khoa graduated with a Baccalaureate degree from D'Adran School in Saigon and then taught at Long Xuyen Provincial School. In July 1891, he transferred to teach at Vinh Long Primary School, and in 1912 was promoted to first-class teacher.
The second teacher was Mr. Le Minh Thiep, the district governor. Before being awarded the district title, Mr. Thiep had been a teacher at this school in 1886. In 1917, when the teacher Le Dang Khoa passed away, he was appointed as the school inspector, and in 1919 he held the position of director of schools in Vinh Long province.
In the early 1940s, after completing primary school, students in Vinh Long had to go to Can Tho or My Tho if they wanted to go to secondary school, so most of them dropped out of school after getting their primary school diploma. In 1947, when Father Nguyen Ngoc Quang took on the role of Director of Vinh Long Minor Seminary, he and teacher Nguyen Van Kinh, then the Inspector of Primary Schools in Vinh Long - Sa Dec - Tra Vinh, actively campaigned to establish the first secondary school in Vinh Long.

On December 2, 1949, College de Vinhlong was officially established, Mr. Nguyen Van Kinh was appointed principal. In 1951 - 1952, the school was granted funding to build 2 more classrooms. At that time, the school had a total of 6 classrooms and changed its Vietnamese name to Primary College. In early 1954, the school changed its name to Nguyen Thong High School, starting to open classes from 7th to 4th grade, then called junior high school. In 1958, the school opened a secondary school level, with classes 3rd, 2nd and 1st.
On January 23, 1961, Nguyen Thong High School changed its name to Tong Phuoc Hiep High School and moved to the premises that had previously been the Internat Primaire Primary School. The old Nguyen Thong School premises were handed over to Nguyen Thong Semi-Public High School. In 1975, Tong Phuoc Hiep High School changed its name to Vinh Long Town High School and from 1979 changed to Luu Van Liet High School.
Strict rules
In 1961, when Mr. Truong Van Cao became Principal of Tong Phuoc Hiep High School, the number of students in the school had increased to nearly 1,000. The school's internal regulations, with 9 clauses and 24 articles, were very strict.
Specifically, students are only allowed to enter the school 15 minutes before class starts. At the beginning of each class, students line up outside the classroom, remain completely silent, and wait for the teacher or supervisor to give orders before entering. During class, they are not allowed to loiter in the yard. When leaving, the whole class must line up. Students with bicycles must go last. Even when waiting to enter the school, students "must stand on the sidewalk or near the roadside to allow passengers and vehicles to pass easily"...
The rules require students to respect public and private property. Therefore, they must have the duty to keep the school, desks, chairs, and books intact and clean. Littering in the classroom or in the yard is strictly prohibited, and writing, drawing, or carving on the desk or wall is prohibited. Before leaving, students must close the door and turn off the lights. Students are not allowed to ride bicycles in the school yard or park their bicycles in front of offices.
The male student uniform is a short-sleeved white shirt, navy blue pants, leather or canvas shoes, or leather sandals. The shirt must be tucked into the waist. If the shirt is long-sleeved, it is forbidden to roll it up. Male students' hair is forbidden to be cropped in a cowboy style. Female students wear white ao dai, white or black pants, and clogs; avoid thin shirts and tight waists. Students who are late for more than 10 minutes must go to the supervisor and explain the reason. After 10 minutes, they will not be allowed to enter the classroom. If the violation is the first time, the school will invite parents to bail them out. If the violation is repeated for the second time, the student will be temporarily sent to the family for 3 to 7 days. If the violation is repeated, the student may be expelled. In case of absence without permission, they will not be allowed to attend school and parents must come to confirm the reason for the absence.
Regarding cultural behavior, article 17 requires: "Students must always show respect for everyone and be disciplined inside and outside of school. Being disciplined and educated means respecting elders, yielding to juniors, speaking humbly, greeting politely, not disturbing, teasing, or being stubborn." If you encounter a funeral or procession on the way, you should stop on the side of the road and take off your hat to greet them...
Because student discipline and ethics are top priorities, in an open letter to parents, the school clearly stated: "You send your children to school, the school has the duty to replace you in training your children to become good people. Faithful to its mission, the school always monitors their education and conduct. The school earnestly requests that you help the school by reminding your children to follow the rules and apply a strict timetable"...
Ms. Phan Hoang Tu Nga, Principal of Luu Van Liet High School, said that in 2018, the school was completely rebuilt with all the classrooms, functional rooms, laboratories, gymnasiums, etc. Currently, the school has a total of 41 classes, with 1,614 students from grades 10 to 12. (to be continued)
