About
Organization of the Program
As with most endeavors, SPNHS with its will to expand students’ opportunities to hone their knowledge and skills initiated a Science and Technology Oriented Program which aims to develop and mold science oriented populace in the community. Year 2007 marks the start of the said venture.
Last April 26, 2007, DEPED Region III gave SPNHS the permission to administer the first batch of admission test for the Special Science Class. From a roster of 140 examinees, 30 students passed the examination and were the foremost students who took the challenge of the program. And to date, two sections were now being catered by the curriculum, each with an allowable 35-student enrolment.
Through careful planning and compliance to the mission, vision, and rules of the program, headed by EDUARDO V. CRUZ, Principal IV of this institution, year 2010, Engineering and Science Education Program (ESEP) was institutionalized in this school as stated in DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2010. Sapang Palay National High School is identified as one of the newly established Science and Technology Oriented High School in the region.
The school head, though a Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) major and not a Science major felt the significance and the necessity of placing Science education to a higher level. He noted that the teaching of Science and Mathematics offers students the ability to access a wealth of knowledge and information which will contribute to an overall understanding of how and why things work like they do. He has been supportive on all Science class activities especially in the conduct of Science Investigatory Projects. Before the school year starts, he would always ask for requisitions and needs of the science class teachers and students to ensure that materials needed is well equipped and provided. Students’ welfare and learning is in his top priority. Teachers are also provided with needed materials within the context of the financial subsidy of the program. Also, the mentors were encouraged to finish their graduate studies and attend trainings to endow with the skills considered necessary to keep abreast with the demands of the Special Program in Science, Technology, and Engineering (SPSTE).

Cohort Survival Rate is measured by computing the ratio between the 4th year enrolment and the 1st year enrolment of the class while Completion Rate is computed by getting the ratio between the number of students who graduated and the number of 1st year enrollees of the class.
The figure above shows that students’ inclination in scientific ability is revealed in the NCAE Scholastic Average Score of school year 2012-2013 and 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and in turn marks the highest on all other assessment areas. Hence, the SSC program gave them a clear Science related path and NCAE has revealed their career preference.
