Being chosen as one of the hundred and ten Science and Technology High Schools in the Philippines, the main goal of the institution is to produce scientifically-inclined and globally competitive students, holistically honing their skills and knowledge, and at the same time instilling in them worthwhile values. To conform to these perspectives, the DOST provided the school with amenities and privileges that help foster the gift of knowledge to its well deserving students. Such included Science Laboratory, put up in 1995 and furnished with complete equipment and books, and sixteen units of computers. Teachers selected to be a part of said class were willing to undergo professional growth by attending various scholarship programs for their professional growth in the different prestigious universities here and abroad. Mr. Joel S. Regala, a recipient of the UP-Asian Center Scholarship finished his Master’s degree through the DOST-SEI support.
