History

The school was founded in 1996, with Mrs. Carmencita Denampo as Supervisor for both the high school and elementary department, and was named the Minglanilla Science and Technology School, which is shortened to SciTech. Until now, people still use this moniker in reference to the school. Still under Mrs. Denampo's reign, it was renamed Minglanilla School of the Future. In 1998, when Mrs. Denampo was promoted, Mrs. Rosita Sanico took over, and it was in her time that the high school and elementary department were separated. It was named to its current name Minglanilla National Science High School.

From an enrollment of 31 high school students in 1996, the MNSHS now has a student population of 413 (as of school year 2014-15); from a one-section school, the MNSHS now has a minimum of two for each year level; from a beginning of one-classroom setting within the premises of the Minglanilla Central School, the MNSHS now has thirteen classrooms, one computer laboratory, and a campus.
