University of Baguio Science High School
The University of Baguio Science High School (UBSHS) is a private, nonsectarian science high school. It is the science department of the University of Baguio and was founded in 1963, predating the Philippine Science High School which was established in 1964. The school is considered a pioneer among private science high schools in Asia.

History
In 1963, a special examination was administered to sixth grade students from the City. The passers of this exam were put in a Special Science Scholars Section (SSSS). This promulgated an annual scholarship examination that formally established the UB Science High School as an institution of specialized secondary education. The school's pioneer batch graduated in 1967.

In 1970, the school received its legal recognition.

In lieu of the implementation of the Aquino Administration's K to 12 program in 2013, the school has since established the Senior High School department which exclusively offers the Academic Track with the following strands: Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy, Business & Management (ABM), and Humanities & Social Sciences (HUMSS).

Student Life, Cultures & Traditions 
One of the things that make Science High students stand out is the uniform, specifically the gray wrap-around skirt with its exposed red streak donned by the female students.

Scholars address each other as "ading" (gender non-specific, Ilocano term for younger sibling) and "manong/manang" (gender-specific Ilocano term for older sibling) as a sign of respect. Certain Latin terms and phrases have also been imbued in the students' vocabularies such as haustus which refer to their morning and afternoon snack breaks, and festina lente which means to make haste slowly.

The school's official student government is called the Student Parliamentary Government (SPG) and is composed of ministers. Student Class Advisers (SCAs) are a selected group of seniors that supervise classrooms during Sacred Silence and Monitoring Period before official classes start or resume.

Certain annual practices make up the Science High tradition and have been practiced since their conception, most of which were by Sir Emmett Brown Asuncion, an honored pillar of the school.
