[edit] History
The Division of City Schools of Muntinlupa, with local government officials, residents and students jointly initiated a request to the DECS for the establishment of a school, which will be responsive to the needs of the mentally gifted students of the city. After the DECS approved the request on April 15, 1999, a Selection Admission Test was administered to 126 student applicants on April 26. The top 72 students composed the first batch who would be the first to graduate from what would eventually be known as Muntinlupa Science High School.
On June 1, 1998, the school was formally inaugurated in the presence of local government and division school officials, the 72 students and their parents. Six teachers were introduced to them. Laboratory and office equipment, tools, television sets, VHS recorders and shelves were delivered one after the other, turning the office cum faculty room into a veritable warehouse.
After a year at Itaas Elementary School, a three-storey building at 999 Bunedia St., Tunasan was inaugurated on June 4, 1999 by local city officials headed by Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi and DSS Dr. Alma Bella O. Bautista, and the DECS office represented by Dr. Fe Hidalgo. At present, another three-storey building housing the administration office, clinic, guidance services, library, computer room and two first year classes stands with its back against Laguna de Bay.
On April 1, 2002, the school graduated its first batch of seniors who hold the distinction of having generated the high percentage of UPCAT passers at 64%.

The school had its first set of graduates on March 2002. Currently, the school is arranging its alumni registry.
