History

Tuguegarao City Science High School was founded by the former mayor of Tuguegarao City, Delfin Telan Ting.

TCSHS separates its students by sections based on the scores obtained at the entrance examination. In 2008-2009, there was no entrance examination for its pioneering batch. The students in the school year 2008-2009 are actually passers of Philippine Science High School including first screening passers.[1] For the second year afterwards, students are sorted by the general average they attained for the fourth grading period. As of school year 2012-2013, the K-12 curriculum was introduced to this school by adding two extra years to the basic education curriculum.

Administration

The current administration is headed by Mrs. Carmen A. Acain.

Application

The only way to be accepted is to pass its entrance exam. Philippine Science High School passers are eligible to enroll here automatically.
