Formerly known as Gov. Leopoldo Lopez Memorial Science High School, in 2002, it was designated as the Regional Science High School for Region XI (Davao Region) by virtue of Dep. Ed order no. 48 s. 2002.[2] In 2009, through Republic Act 9630, the school's name was changed to Davao Oriental Regional Science High School.[3]
