History
Regional Science High Schools were established in the Philippines pursuant to DECS Order No. 69 Series of 1993. The schools were built for above average ability students who have shown an aptitude in science and technology. These specific high schools take Science, Math and English at a higher level. The schools also have an enriched curriculum, undertaking research which is not available in mainstream schools.
The school was originally located at Angeles City High School in Angeles City, Pampanga. but was then relocated to Olongapo City National High School prior to its opening on June 6, 1994. Under the management of then Olongapo City Mayor Katherine H. Gordon and SBMA Chairman Richard J. Gordon, the school was again relocated to the former U.S. Naval Base Subic Bay in Subic Bay Freeport Zone, by present-day Mondriaan Aura College.
Once again, the school was relocated to a former elementary school in East Kalayaan, which is the present location of Regional Science High School III.
Environment
Regional Science High School is located in one of the few remaining natural rainforests in the Philippines in Subic Bay Freeport Zone. The school buildings are abundantly surrounded by grass, rocks, shrubs and trees, over the school fence is an off-limits forest.
The buildings currently being used for the school are still the same structures used during its period as an elementary school for U.S. Naval officers' children during the American Regime. Only few structures in the campus were modified for the better use of the student body.
