History
The Cebu City National Science High School, formerly known as Cebu City Science High School, was established on July 17, 1970 as the brainchild of Dr. Aurelio A. Tiro, then Cebu City Schools Division Superintendent. The school's overall concept was patterned after the objectives of the Philippine Science High School and in line with the Government's Science and Technological Education and Manpower Development Program.
On April 28, 1970, Resolution No. 93 of the Cebu City School Board was passed by Hon. City Councilor Raymundo Crystal, who was then Chairman of the Committee on Education, and requested the Cebu City Council to initiate the funding of a Cebu City Science High School with an appropriation of Php50,000. Then it was followed with Resolution No. 772 of the Cebu City Council on May 7, 1970 appropriating the requested amount for the establishment of the school during the incumbency of Hon. Mayor Eulogio Borres. The school was nationalized under Presidential Decree 105 in SY 1974-1975.
Cebu City Science High School was established in Barangay Labangon on its present site, which is a property donated by Don Sergio Osmeña Sr. to the City Government. The first building of the school was a modified three-unit steel pre-fab Marcos-type school building. The school drew a development plan, and the founding principal, Mrs. Rosalina R. Kintanar, sought financial aid from the Office of the President in order to construct a two-storey Academic Library (AL) Building. The Science Building (SB) that was reconstructed from the pre-fab Marcos-type original, the ESEP Building, and the School Gymnasium were added during the administration of Mrs. Nicanora P. Creus.
The founding principal, Mrs. Rosalina R. Kintanar, gathered 64 students and 5 teachers who started with what is now the Cebu City National Science High School.
The founding principal was succeeded by Mr. Tereso M. Edo, who was appointed on April 1982, Mrs. Nicanora P. Creus on October 1985, Mrs. Pilar A. Tesaluna on February 1999, Mrs. Severina B. Chin as OIC from May 2001-July 2001, Mr. Jesus G. Ortiz on August 2001, Mrs. Severina B. Chin as OIC from June 2002-October 2002 and finally re-appointed on November 15, 2002, and currently Mrs. Marites V. Patiño who was appointed on June 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history has shape, order, and meaning; that exceptional men, as much as economic forces, produce change; and that passé abstractions like beauty, nobility, and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“There has never been in history another such culture as the Western civilization M a culture which has practiced the belief that the physical and social environment of man is subject to rational manipulation and that history is subject to the will and action of man; whereas central to the traditional cultures of the rivals of Western civilization, those of Africa and Asia, is a belief that it is environment that dominates man.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
