Caloocan City Science High School (CCSHS, CalSci, or Kalsay), is a public secondary science school in Caloocan, Metro Manila, Philippines.

History

Caloocan City Science High School stands behind the Division Office along 10th Avenue corner P. Sevilla Street in Grace Park. The school came into existence through the efforts of Dr. Victoria Q. Fuentes, the Schools Division Superintendent then the benevolence of the City Mayor Reynaldo O. Malonzo and then Councilor Egay R. Erice, who saw the need for a Science High School that would cater talented students of the city.

On July 1998, the dream of the City mayor, Coun.Erice and the Schools Division Superintendent became a reality when the 360 students of the DOST Special Science Classes from the Caloocan High School were housed on a newly renovated Sangguniang Panglungsod, a 3-storey building at the back of the Division Office. The building has eight academic rooms, a library, stockroom two computer rooms, a small guidance office, an Audio Visual Room where programs are held, the Office of the Principal and a Faculty room. Councilor Egay Erice is the Sponsor of the Ordinance 0257 Series of 1998 (Proposed Ordinance 0790) "An Ordinance Establishing the Caloocan City Science High School to be funded by the Local School Board and the General Fund of the City Government.

On October 23, 1998, the Caloocan City Science High School was inaugurated with City Mayor Reynaldo O. Malonzo, and Dr. Victoria Q. Fuentes as principal sponsors, the visionaries of CCSHS.

On September of the same year, upon the promotion to Assistant Schools Division Superintendent of Mrs. Lourdes Faustino, the newly appointed Principal Mrs. Esmilita P. Ulangca and Ms. Maria Paz Marcelo, the designated Assistant to the Principal, promulgated the guidelines for the admission of freshmen to CCSHS. Thereafter, a selection test was administered to incoming first year students. To qualify for admission, the applicants should pass the examination, which consists of proficiency tests in English, Science and Mathematics and Logical Reasoning for the first round, and an interview for the second round. A 60–40% aggregate score of the examinee decides their admission to school.

Through the local school board funding, the school was able to acquire science equipment and 50 computers with printers.

In 2000 the school ranked first in the Division of Caloocan, sixth in the National Capital Region, and fourteen in the National Level in the 2000 National Secondary Aptitude test.

In July 2000 the school established its autonomous Student Government with Ms. Mary Jane Toledana as the first president and Mr. Ferdinand A. de Leon in his capacity as the Coordinator of the Student government.

Ten years after CCSHS was established, it was announced by Caloocan City District Two Councilor Rose Mercado that the school is now independent, thus the school is no longer under the arms of its mother school, Caloocan High School. The announcement was made during the 9th Commencement Exercises, March 27, 2009.

On January 2009, Caloocan City Science High School was officially recognized as an independent science high school by the Department of Education – National Capital Region (DepEd-NCR).
