History

In 1971 parents in GSIS Village, Project 8, Quezon City petitioned for a high school within the village so that their children would not have to travel into the city for school. Later that year the city government approved the refurbishment of the second floor of the GSIS Village public market ( palengke ) to form an eight-room school, the GSIS Village High School.

The GSIS Village High School was originally headed by Regina I. Novales (1971–73). She was replaced by Jose V. Aguilar with the title of division supervisor-in-charge in 1974.

In 1976, the palengke and the school with it were gutted by a blaze.

While Ismael A. Mathay Jr. was Mayor of Quezon City (1992-2001), the GSIS Village High School was renamed after his late father, lawyer Ismael Mathay Sr. [1]
