Pasig City Science High School (PCSHS) is a specialized public school system in Pasig City, Metro Manila, Philippines. It is under the administration of the Pasig City local government headed by its Mayor. The school offers scholarships to Filipino students who are exceptionally gifted in the sciences and mathematics.

Every November, PCSHS accepts applications for following school year. Foremost among its criteria for selection is being a resident of Pasig City. Other requirements include an average grade of 85% with no grade lower than 83% in any grading period, must belong to the top 300 qualifiers in the entrance examination, and must be able to pass the two interviews given by the head teachers and the principal of the school.

The quality of its students, the focus given to science and technology, and the scholars' duty to pursue careers in the sciences and engineering set the PCSHS apart from the other schools. The education acquired by PCSHS students prepares them to explore the larger dimensions of science and technology.

True to its mission, the PCSHS continues to contribute to nation-building by helping the country reach a critical mass of professionals in science and technology. It is hoped that Pascian students will continue to serve as a guiding inspiration to young people aspiring to be PCSHS' scholars.And most of all, may they develop a deep love for our country and the genuine desire to serve the Filipino people.]]
