History
In 1969, the late Councilor Jose C. Reyes filed a resolution for the establishment of a public high school. He knew that time would come when a high school diploma would be a passport even to the lowly job of a janitor. He knew that the leaps and bound of progress would necessitate higher qualifications if one hoped to land a good job. And he knew, too, that the poor would be at the losing end of this so-called progress because they could not afford education beyond grade 6 in as much as the tuition fee for secondary education was not within their reach. The school was founded on November, 1969 and was called San Pablo City High School. When it was founded students had to pay fees. In 1988, it was changed to San Pablo City National High School and became a public high school as prescribed by Republic Act No. 6655 which was signed into law on May 26, 1988 by President Corazon Aquino. Beginning in the 1990s, SPCNHS had affiliated annexes in different barangays of the city. Thus, SPCNHS bears the name "San Pablo City National High School-Main" because it is the main campus. But beginning the 2000s, each annexes became independent public high schools. SPCNHS is recognized by the DepEd.
