History[1]
President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed into law the Republic Act 9083, creating the Santa Rosa Science and Technology High School on April 8, 2001. Cong. Uliran T. Joaquin of the First District of Laguna was its principal author.
The law was implemented in the school year 2002-2003 through the initiative and financial support of the local government of Santa Rosa led by Mayor Leon C. Arcillas.

- A Mental ability/aptitude Examination
- A Proficiency Examination in Mathematics, Science and English
- An interview
These are implemented in a step-by-step format; which means that an applicant will be ineligible to be screened in the next stage if he/she fails on the previous stage. The STENEX should be taken only once.
The final selection of first year entrants is also based on the number of slots set for the year by the City Government of Santa Rosa.
