the transfer, only the academic building and a small canteen were present. The dormitories were not finished so the dormitory was temporarily at TESDA, Ditucalan, Iligan City. The students were transported via school bus. Currently, there is a new canteen beside the boys' dormitory inside the campus and a gymnasium. Implementation of the K+12 program Starting school year 2012–2013, PSHS-CMC, along with all the other campuses of the PSHS system, implemented the K+12 program. All freshmen during the school year will get an additional two years of secondary education, with stronger focus on learning specialized branches of sciences and mathematics. The freshmen under the program started out as Grade 7 and will finish high school with Grade 12. It was the aim that the additional two years would better prepare students emotionally and psychologically to take up subjects such as mathematics and the research discipline that require “more maturity.” Admission and sections Admission to the PSHS-CMC is possible only for the first year and, in uncommon cases, lateral entry in the second and third years. Applicants from grade six (or grade seven) must take and perform well in the National Competitive Examination (NCE), the admission test of the Philippine Science High School System, indicating their interest in the Central Mindanao Campus.

The student's current standing for a subject is calculated by adding 1/3 of the previous quarter's grade and 2/3 of the tentative grade of the quarter. The GWA (general weighted average) of the student should be 2.25 or better to be in good standing. Stanine Note: The percentage range is used in actual computations of grades while the equivalent rank is
