The document discusses the 24th anniversary celebration of Sta Lucia High School and its theme of "Rising Strong to Pursue Excellence in the face of Pandemic". Over many years, the school has molded individuals who now work in different professions in society. Though it started small, Sta Lucia High School now qualifies students with overall development and growth. The strong foundation of the school allows it to continue providing quality education for students and developing in all aspects, as it celebrates its anniversary amidst the ongoing pandemic.

1. I like so very much the chosen theme for this year’s foundation day celebration, “Rising Strong to Pursue Excellence in the
face of Pandemic”. It is a fitting theme for a foundation day, and very appropriate for an academic institution like Sta Lucia
High School which braved to embrace challenges at varying degrees amidst the pandemic.
Many years had passed, and it has molded many individuals that are now interacting with different professions in our society.
Changes occur, and as it happens, Sta Lucia High School is still standing strong for improving lives for betterment. From
generation to generation, this institution does not only produce highly academically qualified individuals but people with
overall development and growth. This is what true education is all about.
“A home was made from a foundation”. A strong foundation that can make every man’s home last. Though it just started from
a little home, a little space for high school students, it is so amazing to see Sta. Lucia HS as it is by now. A qualified school of
excellent minds and teaching and non-teaching forces sharing broader knowledge and has a willingness to grow and have an
ability to learn from setbacks, truly Rising Strong in pursuit of Excellence. Padayon Lucians!!
May this celebration, amidst the pandemic, continue to set your hearts afire with the mission of continuing to provide a De-
kalidad na edukasyon sa ating mag-aaral, to work earnestly for the growth and development of this school from all aspects,
and taking vows to uplift the Sta Lucia HS to the greatest possible heights and dimensions.
Happy 24th founding anniversary Sta. Lucia HS. I've been proud to be a part of the 2 last years and I'm excited to be a part of
it for many years to come. I wish the entire school team continued success as you go forward. Congratulation! And a pleasant
morning once again.
