History
The Computer Science High School of Bicolandia (CSHSB) was founded in 2008. The establishment was by way of House Bill No. 338 in the House of Representatives of the Philippines.[1] It was initially named as the Bicolandia ICT-Oriented high school. A few months later after its foundation, the name of the school had been changed to its current name.
This special program was initiated by the actions of then Congressman of the Third District of Camarines Sur, Luis R. Villafuerte, in collaboration with Central Bicol State University of Agriculture, under the administration of its first University President, Atty. Marito T. Bernales.
Through the help of the late Mayor Alexis San Luis, top elementary graduate students across the Capital Town of Pili, Camarines Sur were invited to take the school's first entrance examination on 2008. The original intake was supposedly the top 70 students of the entrance examination and interview until it was decided to add another two slots as approved by the school's administration.
The 72 students were known as part of the pioneer batch of CSHSB. They were the first recipients of free education and other educational benefits as sponsored by the then congressman. The first sections of the school were named as I-Unity and I-Harmony. It was in 2009 when the current CSHSB Building had been used and also the start of using the "A" and "P" sections. The school has two sections per year level ever since its establishment.
The school is a university-administered high school for seven years. It was initially administered from the Institute of Arts and Sciences (now the College of Arts and Sciences), until it was later transferred to the College of Development Education. During the school year 2011-2012, the levels were completed from first year to fourth year. It was in 2012 when the CSHSB produced its very own pioneer graduates.
In 2015, the administration of the school marked its start under the Department of Education, which is formerly with its home university Central Bicol State University of Agriculture. With the implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program by the Aquino Administration, the school completely operated as a junior high school starting the school year 2015-2016. At present, CSHSB is a popular school of choice among elementary graduates from the town of Pili and the rest of Camarines Sur.
