## History[edit]

On June 2002, Taguig Science was formerly known as a Special Science class which initially housed 35 students each section on its academic year 2002-2003[1] which were temporarily housed at Signal Village National High School.

On October 22, 2003, A resolution endorsing the creation of Taguig Science High School was approved by the Office of the Division of Taguig and Pateros (TaPat) signed by the President of TAPASPA and PESPA and the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent and OIC Dr. Estrellita Putian.

On November 10, 2003, Dr. Estrellita Putian, OIC, submitted the Feasibility Study for the creation of Taguig Science High School to Councilor Myla Rodriguez Valencia, Chairman, Committee on Education, Municipality of Taguig.

On December 9, 2003, The Municipality of Taguig enacted Ordinance No. 104, s. 2003, an Ordinance establishing the Taguig Science High School to be funded by the Local School Board of Taguig.

On February 13, 2004, The Division Office of Taguig and Pateros through Dr. Rolando Magno, Schools Division Superintendent, forward a copy of the said ordinance to Hon. Edilberto de Jesus, Secretary of Education.

On March 12, 2004, The request of the local government for allocation of funds in the amount of Thirty Million Pesos (P30.0 M) for the construction of a two-storey (12 classrooms) school building with laboratories for the proposed Taguig Science and Technology Multi-Purpose Hall was referred to the DepEd-NCR by the Planning Office of DepEd, Central Office.

On March 29, 2004, The Regional Office denied the request of the local government re: the appropriation for the construction of the proposed Taguig Science High School.

On April 1, 2004, The Regional Office acknowledged the receipt of Ordinance No. 104, s. 2003 and requested the Division Office to submit the requirements for the establishment of Taguig Science High School as stipulated in DepEd Order No. 5, s. 1989.

On June 4, 2004, Additional requirements for the establishment of Taguig Science High School were requested from the Division Office by the Regional Office.

On August 9, 2004, The Division Office submitted to the regional Office the evaluated documents of the Taguig Science High School.

On September 14–15, 2004, In September 14, the Regional Office approved the establishment of Taguig Science High School.

In September 15, Taguig Science High School was founded and was officially declared as the first high school in Taguig that specializes the Science, Math and English curriculum.

On June 2016, Taguig Science High School opened its main campus at Brgy. San Miguel, Taguig City for the incoming Grade 7 and 10 and Senior High School of Academic Year 2016-2017. It initially housed approximately 300 Grade 10 Students and more than 200 Senior High School students.

It offered the Senior High School application, in accordance to the resolution that was ordered by the Department of Education, for incoming students which were separated into 2 tracks -Science and Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Track and Accountancy and Business Management (ABM) Track.[2]

On June 2017, Since the opening of the new Senior High Building, Taguig Science High School was opened to most year levels of the Junior High School (Grades 7,9,10) and Senior High School (Grades 11 - 12). The Junior and Senior High school have their own dedicated buildings for the division of the year levels.

In June 2018, Taguig Science High School was opened to all year levels of the Junior High School (Grades 7-10) and Senior High School (Grades 11 - 12). The Junior and Senior High school have their own dedicated buildings for the division of the year levels.

In 2020, Taguig Science High School was the subject of controversy due to reports on social media about sexual harassment from both faculty members and students of the school. The reports brought the #TagSciDoBetterNow hashtag viral, with Senator Risa Hontiveros and Kabataan partylist representative Sarah Elago defending the students and calling for government investigation into the manner. In a statement released on October 29, the school administration announced the formation of an investigative committee for the reported cases and other measures to protect students from harassment.[3]
