GENERAL
INFORMATION
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL
The establishment of this school can be traced back to its proponent, Dr. Belen H. Magsino, the superintendent of the
Division of Palawan, whose dream was to have a school comparable with some prestigious schools in Metro Manila. Her dream
was realized with the support of former Speaker Ramon V. Mitra, Jr. and then former City Mayor Hon. Feliberto Oliveros Sr. in
1989. Due to her concern of bringing quality education and economic prosperity to Puerto Princesa City and Palawan, she
thought of spearheading this public high school that will serve as a demonstration school for teachers and students alike.
In June 1990, 28 selected, courageous, idealistic pioneering students started with their teacher, Cristina G. Buenafe, from small,
borrowed, dark rooms of Puerto Princesa Pilot Elementary School. One name used during its growing years was Pilot High
School (Sicsican Annex).
When the pioneering batch was about to graduate in 1994, the class President Arni P. Alanis, Rhondie Garobo and other
officers with Cristina G. Buenafe strongly defended before the Sangguniang Panglungsod to have its own identity. The name
Puerto Princesa City High School was on their diplomas during commencement exercises in March 1994 as proof of support
from the city government under the leadership of Hon. Edward S. Hagedorn, mayor.
Challenges and threats were posed to this institution but, due to commitment and leadership, they did not succeed. In its
humble beginning it gained popularity and prestige when it became the champion in the first Quiz Bee sponsored by the
government in 1992, the same year the government permit to operate 053 was given to the school.
From then on, its students have been bringing laurels such as in academic, K.I.D., L.I.S.T.O., arts, leadership, and other co-
curricular activities. Former Deputy Speaker Hon. Alfredo "Amor" Abueg of the House of Representatives made a remarkable
twist when he authored its conversion into a public science high school approved by the former President Fidel V. Ramos on
March 4, 1997 by virtue of E.A. 8287
This institution has lived up to the challenges of its mentors; first it pioneered programs like Conceptual Approach in teaching
reading of Dr. Aurora H. Roldan, a renowned international reading specialist (1994); Environmental Science PTFPP and DepEd
(1995); TSD-MCP Thinking Skills Development for Maximized Cognitive Performance (1998); Distance Learning (Open High School
2000); and (CBI) Content-Based Instruction (2002).
While extending the delivery of quality education, boosted the morale of its faculty. The leader teacher Cristina G. Buenafe
was awarded as one of the outstanding public secondary high school teachers in 1999 and as one of the outstanding alumni of
Holy Trinity College. It got further recognition when one of its teachers, Dr. Rolando A. Taha became an Education Supervisor in
the Division of Puerto Princesa City in 2001.
Today, this school lies on 30,000 sq. m. lot courtesy of the city government of Puerto Princesa during the administration of
Hon. Edward S. Hagedorn and the City Council, in the heart of Puerto Princesa City. It's behind the National Irrigation
Administration and New City Hall at Sta. Monica, with five buildings, 15 highly competent teachers, two industrious non-teaching
personnel, an improvised computer room with 23 computers and access to internet, supportive parents, self-directed Students
Supreme Council under the Dominican way of responsive leadership and independent students.
This institution was nominated as Regional Science High School in November 2003 to cater to the needs of the intellectually
gifted and science-inclined students of the region. Due to catchments site and in the curriculum/enrollment, it did not win.
Nevertheless, another milestone in public secondary education was obtained by this school when the DepEd Bureau of
Secondary Education allowed the regional science curriculum to be offered beginning SY 2004-2005. The science fair is one of
the strengths of the school. During the "Pagliawan" and "Perez" era, the school earned respect in the city because of consecutive
championships. At present, there were 92 freshmen who rigorously adjusting with the curriculum especially with the inclusion of
research 1 and Computer Education instead of Values Education & Technology & Home Economics.
This institution through its principal was selected as the only secondary school in region IV MIMAROPA for project Sterling
Silver, a peer acceleration system on November 8–11, 2004 in Baguio City. It is taking its massive to uplift physical aspects
through the support of Miguel Padon, the board of the directors presidents and his fellow officers, parents and other
authorities.
SCHOOL LOGO
The school's logo is made up of two group elements:
1. Open Book , Torch and Quill - they symbolize

education and the thirst for knowledge. Acquiring
knowledge from this institution will be like a torch
that will illuminate the future of the students
entrusted to this school
2. Atom, Flasks, Microscope, Bunsen Burner -
These are elements that represent Science. Being a
Science High School, Puerto Princesa City National
Science High School continues to give quality science
education to the youth of Puerto Princesa City and of
the province of Palawan. The year 1990 is the year
when this institution was founded.

Pagka-graduate!” enables the learners to prepare for college and career path they really
want to address and pursue. It is made up of two (2) years of specialized upper secondary
education (Grade 11 and Grade 12). The learners get to choose the specialization they really
want to learn based on their interest, aptitude, and capacity of the school where they want to
enroll in.
The SHS curriculum ensures that each graduate of K-12 will be equipped and confident
to take the next path that lies after high school, whether it is higher education (College),
employment, middle level skills and entrepreneurship.

- Higher Education
- Employment
- Middle level skills
- Entrepreneurship

INTERIM GUIDELINES FOR ASSESSMENT AND GRADING IN LIGHT OF THE BASIC EDUCATION
LEARNING CONTINUITY PLAN
(DepEd Order No. 21, s. 2020)

A. Grading and Promotion
1. The challenges brought to light by the coronavirus pandemic, specifically the implementation of
different distance learning delivery modalities, have sparked
a larger conversation about the role grades play in student learning, prompting education sectors to
rethink traditional grading schemes. The grading system implemented in this interim policy provides
reasonable leniency to learners who are put to a larger disadvantage by the pandemic, but at the same
does not compromise the integrity and principles of assessment and grading.
2. Written works and performance tasks shall be administered to assess the content and
performance standards that describe the knowledge, abilities and skills that learners are expected to
demonstrate. These tasks could be designed to include the following:
a.Student's Learning Portfolio that documents all the evidence of learning within the grading period
including self-reflections, self-evaluations of performance tasks guided by rubrics, and self-selected
best outputs in learning modules.
b.Minimum of four (4) written works and four (4) performance tasks within the quarter, preferably one
in two weeks integrating two or more competencies.
c.All competencies should be covered by the performance tasks (e.g. A performance task can be
used to assess Science, Math, and English altogether for certain topics).
SY 2021-2022
1. For the current school year, quarterly assessments shall not be administered. However, days
allotted for quarterly assessments in DepEd Order 7, s. 2020 or the School Calendar and Activities for
School Year 2020-2021, may be used for the presentation of major performance for the quarterthat
addresses the performance standard.
2. Quarterly Examinations were given a weight of 20% constantly in DO No. 8, s. 2015. Since it will no
longerbe a part of the grading system for this school year, its previously determined weight was
distributed equally into Written Works and Performance Tasks, allotting an additional 10% to each
component. This maintains an emphasis on Performance Tasks for some learning areas.
