History
The Philippine Science High School Central Visayas Campus started with one academic building and 25 scholars, with six teachers and six administrative staff. The Officer-In-Charge Campus Director at that time was Dr. Pedrito G. Padilla, who helped in setting the foundations of the school. The school started its operations on June 29, 2006, while formal classes started on June 30, 2006.
During the opening ceremonies, the scholars, who were housed in the Kumazawa residence and Aballe Apartelle due to the lack of dormitories, went up the mountain with their parents to witness the first opening ceremonies of the school. Many political personalities were there, like Simeon Kintanar, congressman of the second district of Cebu and Wilfredo Caminero, mayor of the municipality of Argao, Cebu.
The school is currently on its fifth year of operation.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I am ashamed to see what a shallow village tale our so-called History is. How many times must we say Rome, and Paris, and Constantinople! What does Rome know of rat and lizard? What are Olympiads and Consulates to these neighboring systems of being? Nay, what food or experience or succor have they for the Esquimaux seal-hunter, or the Kanaka in his canoe, for the fisherman, the stevedore, the porter?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”
—Elizabeth Janeway (b. 1913)
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
