To God be the Glory!
Bayanga Elementary School proudly celebrates the NorMin Star Award—a testament to our long-term, continuous journey toward excellence.
We are honored to be recognized as an OKD-HLI National Level Qualifier, a milestone made possible through the collective dedication of our faculty, staff, and stakeholders. Each day, we strive to become better than yesterday, transforming service into reflective learning experiences that inspire growth and resilience.
This achievement was realized through the steadfast support of DepEd Cagayan de Oro, under the leadership of our SDS, Dr. Angelo Roy Gazo, and ASDS, Dr. Audie Borres. The Division of CDO has consistently strengthened our mission to serve at our best.
We extend our deepest gratitude to:
- The CID Team, headed by Dr. Jean Solis Macasero, together with our PSDS, Sir Jerry P. Taruc, for overseeing curriculum implementation.
- The SGOD Team, led by Dr. Rosalio Vitorillo, SGOD Chief, for ensuring effective and efficient school operations, especially in the implementation of OKD-HLI programs and activities.
- The Medical-Dental Section, headed by Dr. Baldomero Mark Meso with Dr. Jamcel Chacon, whose team guided us in meeting compliance requirements.
- Our dedicated school nurses, Ma’am Amor Fajardo and Ma’am Crystal Christi Cartel, for their encouragement and for rallying fellow nurses to support us.
- Ma’am Edselyn Lago Salido, OKD-HLI focal person, for your tireless commitment and unwavering support.
We also sincerely thank Dr. Artiuto Bayocot, DepEd X Regional Director, and Dr. Myra Guadalope Richard Yee, Medical Officer, as well as DOH Region X for recommending our school for national-level validation.
Finally, to our external stakeholders who have journeyed with us through the years—your support has been invaluable, and we deeply appreciate your partnership.
This recognition is not just for Bayanga Elementary School, but for the entire community that continues to inspire us to reach greater heights.
