History
In 1947, the Marikina High School was established to give a jump start to education in the town of Marikina under the administration of Gil Fernando (the Father of Secondary Education in Marikina) together with Mr. Tomas L. Santos after World War II to recognize his integrity, eloquence and learning for the rehabilitation of schools. In 1952, it changed its name to the Leodegario Victorino Memorial High School (LVMHS) in honor of Leodegario Victorino, former councilor of Marikina (when it was still a town of Rizal), Marikina School of Arts and Trades (MSAT) in 1957 and Marikina Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) in 1978. This is where Marikina Science High School was formed. On November 9, 2001, the MSHS system broke from Marikina Institute of Science and Technology (formerly MSHS is known as MIST secondary level). By the power of R.A. 9289, MIST's college sector was renamed as Marikina Polytechnic College (MPC).

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“It’s not the sentiments of men which make history but their actions.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
