“The best high school teachers here in Noveleta are selected to guide and mold the 3 sections of Grade 7 and two sections of Grade 8,” Norielyn Narciso, acting principal of the Noveleta National Science High School, said.

“They are ready to teach, equipped, and well-trained,” Narciso added.

Noveleta National Science High School is the third science high school in Cavite, after Tagaytay City National Science High School and the Cavite Science Integrated School in Maragondon, Cavite.

The school, located in Barangay San Rafael III, has a newly constructed two-story building with 8 classrooms.

Noveleta District School Superintendent Arnel Zapanta said the new science high school’s program includes math and science subjects, an information and communication technology subject, as well as an elective for advance learning and research.

Due to the persistent coronavirus pandemic, the Department of Education would be implementing a distance learning approach when classes start on October 5.
