Thank you little sisters for a terrific and well planned homecoming celebration. Looking forward to our next jubee in 5 years😘😘😘

Congratulations Batch ‘96! I was in tears watching the online homecoming, knowing you were our “little sisters” back then and now have all become beautiful and successful women. It was an amazing and truly memorable homecoming. Excellent job, ladies! And most especially, excellent job, Tara! For sure, Mabel is rejoicing “watching” all of you. Thank you for remembering Claudine Mabel. With love, Cheryl Feliciano Batch 90 Inna Feliciano-Gimenez Batch 94

Great job to all Jubilarians. Great show and production numbers. It was very inspiring. I really enjoyed the show. Thank you for reminding us what it means to be a true Scholastican. Cheers!

I knew you were good, but I didn't know you were going to be THAT awesome! I'm proud to have been able to witness how you changed the homecoming landscape. Thank you to the HS96 team for a job Scholastican-ly well done!

You brave and beautiful girls. You super women. Wonder Women. All of you. There is so much I wish I knew how to say, in words that would capture exactly what I think and feel…Like how amazing your entire production was. How beautiful. How inspiring. Like how so very proud I am of all of you. And how humbled I am to realise that it was MY privilege to have been one of your teachers. From the very beginning, I had no doubt that you would all do an amazing job. But still, you blew me away. It wasn’t just the technology magic. It was the depth and breadth and insight of the substance that you chose to include and to highlight. And the many little things that showed how loving, supportive, considerate, and inclusive your hearts and minds are. I sat glued to my seat the whole time. Alternately grinning and tearing up. You were all… Just. AMAZING.

Congrats to 96'! Some are my Grade 6 batchmates. 🍷👏

I can’t believe it’s been 25 years! It doesn’t seem like any of you aged at all! Every time I see each of your social media posts, I am reminded of your younger version. I remember, on your first year, how most of you seemed uneasy the first time I called you to come to the Guidance Office, surprised the second time I called you, and shocked that I was calling you for the third or fourth time in one year. It didn’t take long though for some of you to start requesting me to “Please call me during Ms/Mr/Mrs so and so’s class. Please, Tita.” If I had a tally sheet back then of the reasons why you wanted to “see me”, that would have topped it all! Oh and the creativity was fun to recall, too. From the shy and sweet way of asking to begging to demanding to giving reasons why I should call you during a certain class. By your second year, you were already used to the routine. Calling students in the office more than once in a year wasn’t the practice back then. But I did it because I genuinely wanted to get to know each of you, and I’m glad I did. I may have become that “Tita” who will always think of you as a teenager in your HS uniform, but I am also that “Tita” who will always be proud of you and all that you have accomplished and yet to accomplish. And for the times you might feel beat, please know that that is okay, too. Embrace it. Be kind to yourself. Pray. Get back up. And before you know it, you’ll be back on your feet again. Because you always do. Because you are fierce. And because you have a brave spirit. Happy Homecoming! I love you!

They say you never forget your first. You were mine. First time teaching high school. First time handling eight Grammar classes. First time teaching Research to high school girls. First homeroom class. First time a class threw me a surprise children’s party. First time students sang me an apology. First time I used “Princess Bride” as a grammar tool. So many lovely memories, so how could I forget HS’96? Inconceivable! 😉 Some of you have become my friends, some my sorority sisters, some my colleagues. But ALL of you have become part of my heart. I am so happy for and proud of you all.

Dear Batch '96, You are memorable to me because it was in SY '95-'96 that I stepped into the huge shoes of Ms. Medy Salazar as the HS Coordinator of Student Affairs. It was a most challenging but fulfilling year of changes, innovations and opportunities. On this your 25th jubilee, amidst the uncertainty of a pandemic, each of you are called to make that contribution, big or small, to making things better not just for yourselves or your families, but to the larger community. May you make a dent for the greater good. Best wishes and I am most excited to be a part of this celebration Love lots, Mrs. P

Love the campus photos! Thank you for “bringing us home” through them.
