History

In 1969, the late Councilor Jose C. Reyes filed a resolution for the establishment of a public high school. The school was founded on March 3, 1969 and was called "San Pablo City High School." In 1994. the status of the school changed from city to national as prescribed by Republic Act No. 6655 signed into law on May 26, 1988 by President Corazon Aquino. The name was changed to "San Pablo City National High School." In the 1990s, SPCNHS added annexes in different barangays of the city due to the unprecedented increase of enrollees that could no longer be accommodated in the school campus. Thus, it is now known as the "San Pablo City National High School-Main" In the 2000s, each annex became an independent public high school.
SPCNHS is recognized by the Department of Education.
