The Regional Science High School III is a high school in East Kalayaan, Subic Bay Freeport Zone, Zambales province of the Philippines. It specializes in both science and math, mainly for academically strong adolescents. The school was established in 1994.
History
Regional Science High Schools were established in the Philippines pursuant to DECS Order No. 69 Series of 1993.[1] The schools were built for above average ability students who have shown an aptitude in science and technology. These high schools take Science, Math and English at a higher level. The schools also have an enriched curriculum, undertaking research which is not available in mainstream schools.
The school was originally located at Angeles City High School in Angeles City, Pampanga.[1] but was relocated to Olongapo City National High School before its opening on June 6, 1994. Under the management of Former Olongapo City Mayor Katherine Gordon and SBMA Chairman Richard Gordon, the school was relocated again to the former American base at Subic Bay Freeport Zone, near the present-day Mondriaan Aura College.
Once again, the school was relocated to the former elementary school in East Kalayaan which is the present location of Regional Science High School III.
Environment
It is located in one of the few remaining natural rainforests in the Philippines in Subic Bay Freeport Zone.The school buildings are abundantly surrounded by grass, rocks, shrubs and trees, over the school fence is an off-limits forest.
The buildings used for the school were still the same structures as it was used as an elementary school during the American Regime, only some were modified for the better use of the school body.
