[edit]On February 21, 2002, then-Congressman Alan Peter Cayetano filed House Bill No. 4448 in the 12th Congress, which sought to establish and fund a science and technology high school is Pamayanang Diego Silang, Ususan, Taguig. It is to be known as the Taguig-Pateros (TAPAT) Science and Technology High School.[2]
During the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the city, face-to-face classes and activities in the school were suspended. Online classes were held as part of the city's initiative in maintaining health protocols. While in the midst of pandemic and the suspension of on-site activities, SRCCMSTHS piloted the "cyber graduation", where graduates of the school were represented using robots to maintain the city's health protocols.[3]
In 2022, Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano took her oath at the school grounds when she was sworn in as the mayor of the city.[4] Later on, SRCCMSTHS bagged the top two prizes in 2023 at the International Science Drama Competition 2023 held in Bangkok, Thailand.[5]
