[edit] History

Jejomar Cabauatan Binay, then officer in charge of the then Municipality of Makati, established the Makati West High School on June 16, 1986, at Mayapis Street in San Antonio Village to serve the elementary school graduates of barangays La Paz, Palanan, Pio del Pilar, San Antonio, and Francisco Benitez.

On August 21, 1989, the Makati West was placed under the supervision of the then Department of Education, Culture, and Sports (DECS, now the Department of Education or DepEd) through the efforts of Mrs Teodora A Tongko, then the school's principal.

In 1994, Makati West was renamed the Makati Science High School and was allowed to implement its Special Science and Technology Curriculum by Director Esperanza Orlina, DECS-National Capital Region Director IV.

Three years later, on January 25, 1997, the Makati Science moved from Mayapis Street to its new buildings at Osias Street in Barangay Poblacion. Its four four-storey buildings were blessed and inaugurated on December 10, 1997. ^[2]
