History
The establishment of the campus was initiated in Congress by Congressman Salacnib Baterina in 1999. His law is known as Republic Act 9036.
After the PSHS System Board of Trustees approved its establishment, via a resolution, in February, 2002, the local government of San Ildefonso in Ilocos Sur, donated a 5-hectare land for the construction of the school.
The school opened with its first batch of 33 students from parts of Region 1, and six teachers on July 14, 2003.
As of March 31, 2011, 201 students graduated from the school. (Batch 2007: 33 graduates, Batch 2008: 31 graduates, Batch 2009: 35, Batch 2010: 44, Batch 2011: 48)

—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
