In a display of intellectual abilities last September 23, 2023, the Cebu City National Science High School (CCNSHS) team comprising of Justine Kyle Alon, Zachary Paul Matriano, both in Grade 12, and Zae Escarro, a Grade 11 student, guided by Mr. Melchizedeck Rudinas, their mentor, emerged triumphant.  

The team secured the first place at the prestigious Indigay sa Kinaadman 2023 Quiz Bowl held at Rigney Hall, University of San Carlos Talamban Campus.

Indigay Sa Kinaadman, a weeklong series of events showcasing the significance of Chemical Engineering in the society and for nation building.

The competition featured a total of six participating teams and a nerve-racking clincher round went down between the Philippine Science High School - Central Visayas Campus team and the Cebu City National Science High School team.

Moreover, the tie-breaker attributed to the CCNSHS team to secure the first place, with the Pisay team placing second, and the University of San Carlos Team being the third placer.

Zae Escarro, a member of the CCNSHS team, attributed her motivation for participation to her inquisitiveness and her great passion for knowledge, stating, "Regardless of the result, all competitions have one goal – learning. What motivates me the most is knowing what I don't know."

The resounding success of the SciHi team not only showcased their academic excellence but also their unwavering commitment to the field of science.
