A message from Dr. Felizardo Bolanos...

Congratulations Batch 2020! Please accept my warmest congratulations to you, our dear graduates and completers, to your committed teachers, to all our dynamic school administrators, to all our supervisors and personnel who worked hard till the end of the school year and to your parents who closely guide and support in your educational undertakings.
We, in the DepEd family are very grateful for allowing us to become part of your life. We take great pride and pleasure in witnessing how the self-conscious schoolers who entered in our schools seven or ten or twelve years ago have metamorphosed into young competent adolescents of character.
We are aware that you have much to learn to become successful in every endeavor that you would want to pursue, but we are confident enough that the education you have acquired from our schools shall have prepared you well to be able to hurdle the challenges that will come along your way.
Our dear graduates and completers, always internalize our DepEd core values of Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan at Makabansa which are highly emphasized in our educational banner program, “Eto, Batangueno Disiplinado, Magkatuwang Tayo”. These values shall surely serve you well in all your actions and decisions.
I challenge you that for everything you will do, always aim for excellence with unquestioned integrity and humility. You have the power to create positive change to create value, not only for yourself but for others in your community and country. So, dare to make a difference in this highly technological world.
Always bear in mind that to make a difference in someone’s life, we don’t have to be brilliant, famous, or rich. What we just need is to have a grateful heart that cares.
So, spread your wings and be brave to take flight with the guidance of our Lord God!

Congratulations, Carmelians!
