Former Governor Roberto Q. Garcia issued an Executive Order creating a steering committee to study and work for the establishment of the school.
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.
With this conversion, the school caters to the needs of students who are scientifically and mathematically inclined, not just in the province of Aklan but also throughout Region VI.
Students who belong to the upper 10% of the Grade VI graduating class, recommended by their respective principals are qualified to take the entrance exam.
Alexander Salvador of the RSHS-VI Basketball Boys represented the Unit V in the Aklan provincial athletic meet, winning the championship later on.
The 3x3 Basketball girls also won the Provincial trophy, a team composed of Rachelle Serrato, Esther Amador, and Feby Talaguit.
They were set to battle for the Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association meet, but the event was cancelled due to the Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.
The school has produced two Metrobank Foundation Inc. awardees in the search for Outstanding Teachers of the Philippines namely, Dioso A. Torre in 1993, and Ruby Agnes B. Estrada in 1999 respectively.
