[edit] History

The school was founded on November, 1969 and was called San Pablo City High School. When it was founded students had to pay fees. In 1988, it was changed to San Pablo City National High School and became a public high school as prescribed by Republic Act No. 6655 which was signed into law on May 26, 1988 by President Corazon C. Aquino. Beginning in the 1990s, SPCNHS had affiliated annexes in different barangays of the city. Thus, SPCNHS bears the name "San Pablo City National High School-Main" because it is the main campus. But beginning the 2000's, each annexes became independent public high schools. SPCNHS is recognized by the DepEd.
