History
Former City Mayor Soledad C. Eusebio envisioned Pasig to become a premier city in the
metropolis upon assuming her office in 2001. Now a progressive city, Pasig boasts itself as a
center for commerce, a cradle of urban living and a seat of learning. Part of the mayors projects
in the education sector is a free and valuable education for all Pasigueos. Having all the
resources, she also believed that it is not impossible for the city to have a special science high
school just like other municipalities of Metro Manila. Imbued with this vision, the former mayor
spearheaded and pursued the dream project in collaboration with the education sector of the city.
Thus, a new science high school was born. With the support and determination of former Mayor
Soledad C. Eusebio, Hon. Mayor Vicente P. Eusebio, and the members of the City Council, the
school was founded on October 7, 2004 by virtue of City Ordinance No. 28, series 2004. It was
named the Pasig City Science High School. The school formally opened in school year 20052006 using temporarily the fifth, sixth and seventh floors of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng
Pasig building.
Mr. Noel A. Salalima became its first Principal. Ms. Edna H. Negru and Ms. Mila I. Jose were
appointed as the Head Teachers together with the first batch of faculty composed of nineteen
(19), competent, special science teachers. Four (4) support staff aided the administrators. During
its maiden operation, the school accommodated a total of 276 enrollees out of the 300 projected
scholarship grants yearly. Females dominated the males 184 against 92. All scholars came
from both private and public elementary school in the city who is bonafide residents of Pasig
City. They have undergone and passed rigorous admission tests which include written tests, an
extensive evaluation of the academic grades in grade school (candidate must have an average
grade of 85% with no grade below 80% in all subjects), and series of interviews. The full
scholarship program includes the provisions for free textbooks, bags, shoes, notebook and a
monthly allowance.
In summer of 2006, the school transferred to its new and permanent site a six storey building
nestled at the Rainforest Park. Facilities include upgrade type of classrooms, offices, library,
restrooms, speech laboratory, computer laboratory and four well-furnished science laboratories.
A strategic place for a science high school, Rainforest Park offers the most conducive place of
learning among the scholars. The park itself is one, big laboratory for them. To ensure quality
learning, class size is limited to 30. As a symbol for a leaning institution, a school logo was
necessary. Mr. Noel A. Salalima, its first Principal, conceptualized and designed the schools
emblem. Mr. Gilbert D. Malcolm drew the conceptualized design. Mr. Noel A. Salalima
composed the school hymn, and Mr. Eric Elvi R. Bagamasbad set its music. Pasig City Science
High Schools curriculum is geared towards students excellence in Mathematics, Science and
Technology. Unlike other science high schools, Pasig City Science High Schools curriculum is
patterned after the curriculum of Philippine Science High School. Pasig City Science High
School, upon its establishment, is a dream school of the city government of Pasig. Anchored on
its thrusts which embodied in its mission and vision, the school is a learning institution at the
same time a home for scholars who will be future leaders and scientists not only for a brighter
Pasig City but of the entire nation as well.
