[edit] History
Hermingilda Garcia Margate, then Division Science Supervisor, conceived the establishment of a science high school in Quezon City. This idea was announced by Alfredo J. Andal, then City Schools Superintendent in the year 1967. Later, in 1997, the city science high school of Quezon City was designated by the Department of Education - National Capital Region as the Regional Science High School for the National Capital Region.
QueSci celebrated its 40th foundation anniversary last September 17, 2007 and named the Administration Building's lobby, the Margate Hall, dedicated to its foundress, the late Hermingilda G. Margate. Her son, Ryan, unveiled the new marker for the building.
[edit] The principal
The principal of Quezon City Science High School is Dr. Zenaida P. Sadsad. She implemented additional courses for Second Year, Third Year and Fourth Year, namely Advanced Biology (CYL2), Speech and Drama/Journalism (CYL3), and Linear Algebra/Journalism/Pamamahayag/Technical Writing (CYL4). She also implemented policies such as a stricter latecomers policy, and a school hour extension for some Curriculum Year Levels to give way for the additional subject areas.
