Dr. Constancio I. Constantino, then Chairman of the Committee on Education and Culture of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of the Province of Aklan, in 1979 conceived the idea of establishing a provincial high school for the intellectually gifted and science-mathematics oriented youth of the province.
Former Governor Roberto Q. Garcia issued an Executive Order creating a steering committee to study and work for the establishment of the school.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan, during the 45th regular session approved Resolution No.178, s. 1979 on December 7, 1979 which authorized the establishment of ADHS.
ADHS was modeled after the Manila Science High School which offers Special Science Secondary Education Curriculum with selective admission and retention requirements for students.
The authority to operate the first year class was endorsed by School Division Superintendent Joaquin Tesoro and was approved by Minister Onofre D. Corpus on March 11, 1980. The first year class consisted of 37 scholars who were selected based on a competitive admission test administered by the Science Foundation of the Philippines Center No.6.
The class was formally opened by the MEC Regional Director Antonio B. Tanchuan on June 9, 1980 for the school year 1980-81 and temporarily housed at the Bagong Lipunan Building of the Kalibo Pilot Elementary School.
The second, third and fourth years were progressively organized every succeeding year thereafter. The school was transferred to its temporary site at the Provincial Capitol compound in the school year 1981–82.
In school year 1982–83, a resolution requested a change from the name Aklan Development High School to Science Development High School of Aklan (SDHSA) to make it more suggestive of its Special Science Secondary Education Curriculum.
Approval of the change of name was signed by MEC Minister Onofre D. Corpus on December 23, 1982.
On June 21, 1991, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan approved a resolution donating a portion of one hectare of the real property acquired by the provincial government from the Development Bank of the Philippines to the SDHSA and authorizing the provincial governor to execute the Deed of Donation.
The Deed of Donation was entered into by and between the Provincial Government of Aklan and the Department of Education, Culture and Sports-Science Development National High School of Aklan, on July 11, 1991. The newly acquired school site is located in Barangay Old Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan.
The P3.2 Million DECS-SEDP consists of an administration office, four academic classrooms, library, laboratory and home economics room.
The new school site was inaugurated on October 4, 1993. SDHSA was then changed to Science Development National High School (SDNHS) due to the order of the Department of Education, Culture and Sports that all Barangay high schools should be named as national high schools.
A permanent extension classroom and guard house (through the effort of PTCA) were built in 1994–1995. Two more classrooms were constructed in 1995. Because of the growing population of the SDNHS, makeshift classrooms made of nipa and bamboo were built, four in 1994 and two in 1995, through the efforts of parents.
Gradually, classrooms made of light materials were demolished to give way to more permanent structures. In 1996, a science laboratory was constructed and each year thereafter, classrooms were built under the DECS Regular School Building Program. In March 1997, four classrooms funded out of the CDF of Senator Edgardo Angara were built.
The school was converted into a Regional Science High School in 1999. With this conversion, the school caters to the needs of students who are scientifically and mathematically inclined, not just in the province of Aklan but also throughout Region VI.
It now houses the Provincial Adolescent Health and Youth Development Program Center of Aklan (AHYDP-Teen Center).
Students who belong to the upper 10% of the Grade VI graduating class, recommended by their respective principals are qualified to take the entrance exam.
To acquire an entrance examination form, examinees should have:
Students should maintain a grade of 85 for major subjects and 83 in minor subjects. If a student fails to meet this requirement, he or she would be put under probation for the following year. If the student still fails to meet the requirements he or she will be due to disqualification, hence, he or she is to transfer to another school by the end of the school year.
For Senior High School students, failing to meet the required grade results to immediate disqualification.
Only students who have maintained the grade requirement set for RSHS shall be allowed to transfer laterally, that is, from one RSHS to another. Transfer from general high school to the RSHS is not allowed in any curriculum year.
Since its establishment, the institution had Dr. Concepcion P. Constantino as its principal until July 2009. The current principal is Merlyn S. Carrillo. Maria Santia A. Arboleda is the incumbent Principal II.

There are a number of 10 classes for each grade level, two (2) of which are elective classes. Minimum of 30 and a maximum of 50 students per class for better instruction and improved laboratory work.
