It Was About To Begin!

'Service For God and Man'.That is the virtue of true Naguenians.

The changes in Curriculum, the rising of new school facilities, the coming of new teachers, the special events and many more, are such examples that may bring the school itself to renewing its level of education and satisfaction to students and teachers, as well as everyone involved.

►   Brief History of the School

Naga City Science High School was Naga City’s response to DECS Order No. 69, s. 1993 which called for the creation of Science High Schools in the country.  On the strength of Resolution     No. 94-030, dated February 2, 1994, members of Sangguniang Panlungsod on joint and collective motion unanimously authorized the Honorable City Mayor Jesse M. Robredo, to negotiate with DECS who was then represented by the Schools Division Superintendent, Dr. Elena C. Tino, for the establishment of a Science High School in the City of Naga and appropriated the amount of two million pesos for this purpose. Furthermore, it passed Resolution No. 94-124 where it expressed its full and continuing support for the operation of the school.

The School has the following Objectives:

1. to broaden access to quality education through Science-Oriented Program.

2. to provide for a more intensive and advance secondary education program for Mathematics, Science and English.

3. to prepare the students to meet the demands of quality colleges and universities for highly trainable college students.

     Using two classrooms borrowed from Camarines Sur National High School and with 68 first year enrollees and four teachers, the school became operational in school year 1994-1995. DECS formal approval of its operation was received on December 27, 1994.

     Through the efforts of Cong. James Jacob of the 2^nd District of Camarines Sur, who sponsored House Bill No. 4130 “An Act Converting Naga City Science High School into a National Science High School and Appropriating Funds Therefore”, the school was finally converted into a National Science High School by virtue of Republic Act No. 8944 on August 22, 2000. Said act was approved by President Joseph  Ejercito Estrada.

     After its nationalization, the school has finally been given appropriations for Personal Services.  The teachers whose plantilla items were included in Carolina National High School were transferred to the school’s own plantilla. However, the number of teachers still did not correspond to the number of enrolees. In support, the Local Government through the Naga City School Board hired contractual teachers to augment the lack thereof.

     By this time, the school was also given an item for Principal position.

    Non-Teaching personnel were still detailed employees from the City Government.

    At present, Naga City Science High School is following the Special Science Curriculum intended for Science High Schools per DECS Order No. 69, s. 1993.  As such, there are some additional subjects for Science, English and Mathematics.

     At present, the School has 28 Teachers, 10 of which are Locally Funded Contractual Teachers and 18 Permanent Teachers.

       In the light of the real status the school has as of now, we earnestly pray that it be recognized as a Special Science High School so that it would have the financial capability to operate and sustain its curriculum, teaching and non-teaching staff, and the growing enrolees.
