San Juan City Science High School (SJCSHS) is a public junior high school located in San Juan City, Philippines. Its establishment can be traced back to the issuance of Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS) Order No. 69 series of 1993. This order initiated the creation of science high schools across the Philippines, including San Juan City Science High School.

The primary aim of science high school was to offer a more intensive and advanced secondary education program, particularly focusing on subjects such as science, mathematics, and communication arts. By providing specialized education in these areas, the DECS aimed to cater to the needs of academically inclined students who showed a keen interest and aptitude in these fields.

San Juan City Science High School was established in response to the growing demand for quality education in science and technology. Recognizing the importance of nurturing young talents in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, the government established science high schools like SJCHS to provide specialized training and education to students who aspire to pursue careers in STEM.

The San Juan City Science High School bloomed from the San Juan National High School. After meeting all the requirements, the Local Government Unit with the collaboration of DepEd San Juan City, SJCSHS was established.

Accordingly, under the authority of DepEd Central Office granted by Section 7 of Republic Act No. 9155 and DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2014, the Establishment of San Juan City Science High School, in San Juan City was approved. Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 20, s. 2017 “An Ordinance Creating the San Juan City Science High School in Barangay St. Joseph, City of San Juan, Metro Manila, the school was named San Juan City Science High School and was officially established on July 31, 2018.

San Juan City Science High School was the brainchild of the outgoing Senator JV Ejercito and former Mayor Guia Gomez. They want to strengthen the foundation of the young San Juaneños in terms of STEM education. This endeavor was continued by the current City Hon. Mayor Francisco Javier M. Zamora.

The school saw the need to create a Special Science Class that will address the learning capability of the students who are scientifically and mathematically inclined, have high English proficiency and with excellent capabilities. As an established institution, SJNHS started putting up Science Class in the School year 2013-2014 with Grade 7 students who took an admission test administered by the Division of the City of San Juan. Since its establishment, SJC Science High School has been committed to providing excellent education and fostering the intellectual growth of its students. Through rigorous academic programs, state-of-the-art facilities, and dedicated faculty, the school continues to uphold its mission of producing competent and innovative individuals equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in various scientific and technological disciplines.

Over the years, SJC Science High School has produced numerous graduates who have gone on to pursue successful careers in various fields, contributing to the advancement of science and technology both locally and globally. The school remains a beacon of academic excellence in San Juan City, continuing to inspire and empower generations of students to strive for excellence in the field of science and mathematics.

Dr. Jay F. Macasieb served as the first Officer-in-Charge , School Principal of San Juan City Science High School (SJCSHS) from 2018 to 2020. He played a pivotal role in its early development and establishment of the school.

Dr. Macasieb had overseen the development of the school's curriculum, ensuring that it met the rigorous standards set by the Department of Education while also integrating specialized subjects in science, mathematics, and technology.

The transition of leadership from Dr. Jay F. Macasieb, Principal of San Juan City Science High School (SJCSHS) to Mr. Hernan L. Apurada as the new OIC-Principal during the COVID-19 pandemic was a significant moment in the school's history.

Mr. Hernan Apurada demonstrated exemplary leadership characterized by adaptability, resilience, and a commitment to the well-being of the school community by putting premium to his priorities which included the safety and well-being of students and staff, implementing remote learning strategies, and maintaining academic continuity amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mr. Apurada’s promotion gave way to Mrs. Helen S. Acedo’s stint as the OIC-Principal of the school from 2021-2023. This brought significant contributions to the development and advancement of San Juan City Science High School. One of her remarkable achievements was overseeing the transition of the school from its old location beside the Schools Division of San Juan City to its current location in Barangay St. Joseph. Mrs. Acedo successfully orchestrated the relocation of SJCSHS from its previous location to the four-story building with instructional rooms, school canteen, clinic and library.
