History

Nueva Vizcaya Science High School

PSHS–CVC was established as the Nueva Vizcaya Science High School (NVSHS) from Republic Act 7622, passed by then Congressman Carlos M. Padilla. Its curriculum was described by the Department of Education, Culture and Sports. It used to be situated in the same compound as the Nueva Vizcaya State University. In 1997, the control of the NVSHS was transferred to the Department of Science and Technology under Republic Act 8364.[1]

Philippine Science High School – Cagayan Valley Campus

In 1998, Republic Act 8496, otherwise known as the "Philippine Science High School (PSHS) System Act of 1997"[2], was approved by then President Fidel V. Ramos. This act established a system that merged the four existing PSHS campuses under one system. In 2001, the law was amended to include the NVSHS, thus incorporating the school into the system. Under this law, the school was renamed into the Philippine Science High School – Cagayan Valley Campus.

In 2002, under Governor Rodolfo Q. Agbayani, construction of a new compound for the PSHS–CVC started Barangay Masoc in Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya. In 2010, the PSHS–CVC had completed its relocation onto the new site.

Under the country's transition to a K–12 education system in 2013, the system also began to cater to students of Grade 11 and 12. The first batch of students under the new K–12 system graduated in 2018. Later that year on December 17, the PSHS–CVC was certified as ISO-compliant by AJA Registrars.[3]
