The Regional Science High School for Region VI (formerly Aklan Development High School (AHDS) / Science Development High School of Aklan (SDHSA) / Science Development National High School (SDNHS) is a public secondary science school supervised by the Department of Education. It is located in Old Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines.

History

Adhering to the belief that education is the best investment for the future generations, Dr. Constancio I. Constantino, then Chairman, Committee on Education and Culture of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of the Province of Aklan sometime in 1979 conceived the idea of establishing a unique provincial high school for the intellectually gifted and science-mathematics oriented youth of the province. Supportive to the novel idea, former Governor Roberto Q. Garcia issued an Executive Order creating a steering committee to study and work for the establishment of the provincial high school. The Sangguniang Panlalawigan, during the 45th regular session approved Resolution No.178, s. 1979 on December 7, 1979 which authorized the establishment of Aklan Development High School (ADHS).

The ADHS is modeled after the Manila Science High School which offers Special Science Secondary Education Curriculum with selective admission and retention requirements for students.

The authority to operate the first year class was endorsed by School Division Superintendent Joaquin Tesoro and was approved by Minister Onofre D. Corpus on March 11, 1980. The first year class consisted of 37 scholars who were selected based on a competitive admission test administered by the Science Foundation of the Philippines Center No.6. The Class was formally opened by the MEC Regional Director Antonio B. Tanchuan on June 9, 1980 for the school year 1980-81 and temporarily housed at the Bagong Lipunan Building of the Kalibo Pilot Elementary School. The second, third and fourth years were progressively organized every succeeding year thereafter. The school was transferred to its temporary site at the Provincial Capitol compound in the school year 1981-82.

In school year 1982-83, a resolution requested a change from the name Aklan Development High School to Science Development High School of Aklan (SDHSA) to make it more suggestive of its Special Science Secondary Education Curriculum. Approval of the change of name was signed by MEC Minister Onofre D. Corpus on December 23, 1982.

On June 21, 1991, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan approved a resolution donating a portion of one hectare of the real property acquired by the Provincial Government from the Development Bank of the Philippines to the SDHSA and authorizing the Provincial Governor to execute the Deed of Donation. The Deed of Donation was made and entered into by and between the Provincial Government of Aklan represented by Governor Corazon L. Cabagnot and the Department of Education, Culture and Sports-Science Development National High School of Aklan represented by the Assistant Schools Division Superintendent, Officer-in-charge, Division of Aklan, Mr. Crescente S. Alabado on July 11, 1991. The newly acquired school site is located in Barangay Old Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan.

The P3.2 Million DECS-SEDP consists of an administration office, four academic classrooms, library, laboratory and home economics room.

The new school site was inaugurated on October 4, 1993 in Barangay Old Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan. SDHSA was then changed to Science Development National High School (SDNHS) due to the order of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports that all barangay high schools should be named as national high schools.

A permanent extension classroom and guard house (through the effort of PTCA) were built in 1994-1995. Two more classrooms were constructed in 1995 and a fence was built a year after, also through the efforts of the PTCA. Because of the growing population of the SDNHS, makeshift classrooms made of nipa and bamboo were built, four in 1994 and two in 1995, through the efforts of parents.

Gradually, classrooms made of light materials were demolished to give way to more permanent structures. In 1996, a science laboratory was constructed and each year thereafter, classrooms were built under the DECS Regular School Building Program. In March 1997, four classrooms funded out of the CDF of Senator Edgardo Angara was built.

The school was converted into a Regional Science High School in 1999. With this conversion, the school will now cater to the needs of boys who are scientifically and mathematically inclined, not just in the province of Aklan but also throughout Region VI.[1][dead link]
