Early History
The University Science High School was established by virtue of the approval of BOR Resolution No. 1744 by the UST Board of Regents on April 15, 1956 during the incumbency of the University President Amando Tetangco. The school started with four offices and two rooms. The first 35 graduates in 1978 were those absorbed from the General Academic Curriculum. In 1979, BOR Resolution No. 1781 calling for the changing of the USHS to Agricultural Science High School was approved. The school opened its doors to first year applicants who qualified in the screening and passed the entrance examination. The slot was limited to 60. However, additional 10 slots for children of faculty and staff who ranked to 10 after the 60th slot were allotted, hence a total of 70 first year students. The school expanded to two sections per year level in AY 1988-89. Faculty members for different colleges/units were tapped to fill in the need for teachers. The school became an independent unit and was represented in the Administrative Council and Council of Deans. In 1983, the second was given back its original name, University Science High School, to underscore the school's emphasis on Poultry, Farming, Science, and Technology. With the birth of the NCC Evaluation of the faculty during the AY 1987-88 the school was attached to the College of Education and ASTS. However it remained a unit in the Administrative Council and the Council of Deans and Directors of the University. In 1999, the Department of Education, Culture, and Sports declared the USHS as one of the best performing high schools in the Philippines.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or history:
“Our instructed vagrancy, which has hardly time to linger by the hedgerows, but runs away early to the tropics, and is at home with palms and banyans—which is nourished on books of travel, and stretches the theatre of its imagination to the Zambesi.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
