History

edit

In 1969, councilor of San Pablo City Jose C. Reyes filed a city resolution for the establishment of a public high school. The school was founded on March 3, 1969, and was called "San Pablo City High School." Dionisia C. De Roma, a Schools Division Supervisor was assigned- in-charge of the newly created secondary school.

In 1994, the status of the school changed from city to national as prescribed by Republic Act No. 6655[1]signed into law on May 26, 1988, by President Corazon Aquino. The name was changed to "San Pablo City National High School."

In the 1990s, SPCNHS added annexes in different barangays of the city due to the unprecedented increase of enrollees that could no longer be accommodated in the school campus. Thus, it was known as "San Pablo City National High School-Main"

In the 2000s, each annex became an independent public high school, thus dropping the "main" campus title and the sole bearer of the name "San Pablo City Integrated High School".

With the introduction of Republic Act 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013,[2] SPCNHS was primed to be one of the implementers of the Senior High School Program, along with the already existing Junior High School Program. Upon the approval of the program, it was henceforth named "San Pablo City Integrated High School" (SPCIHS).
