The school was the brainchild of former superintendent Aurelio Tiro, who envisioned a school similar to the Philippine Science High School system. The school's founding principal, Rosalina Kintanar, put together 64 academically exceptional students around the region in the school.

As the year progressed, the school began to show its talents around Cebu, bagging several awards in contests. There have also been increases in the student population, from the former 64 students, to 140 during the 90's and then 175 during the 2005-2006 academic year. This school is a public school.
