33rd FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY OF ST. BENEDICT COLLEGE OF COTABATO INC.

With hearts full of gratitude and pride, the St. Benedict College of Cotabato family joyfully celebrated its 33rd Founding Anniversary on July 13, 2026—a significant milestone that honors three decades of excellence in education, steadfast faith, and dedicated service to the community.

The celebration came alive through inspiring performances by learners from the Preschool, Junior High School, Senior High School, and College Departments, together with presentations from our dedicated faculty members. Each performance reflected the creativity, unity, and vibrant Benedictian spirit that continue to define our institution.

The founding celebration became even more memorable through exciting raffle draws, generous prizes, and a variety of food booths that brought together students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, and guests in a joyful atmosphere of fellowship and celebration.

A defining moment of the celebration was the Mass Oath-Taking Ceremony of the newly elected Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) Officers. As they officially assumed their roles, these young leaders pledged to serve with integrity, uphold the voice of every learner, and lead initiatives that foster excellence, unity, and responsible student leadership.

More than marking another successful year, this Founding Anniversary reaffirmed the enduring values that have guided St. Benedict College of Cotabato since its establishment—Truth, Justice, Peace, Work, and Prayer. These values continue to inspire every Benedictian to grow in character, pursue excellence, and become compassionate leaders committed to making a positive impact on society.

As we celebrate our rich legacy, we also look forward with renewed hope and determination, embracing the future with one vision and one Benedictian spirit.

Happy 33rd Founding Anniversary, St. Benedict College of Cotabato!

Together, we honor our past, celebrate our present, and continue building a future of excellence.

Once a Benedictian, Always a Benedictian! 💙💛
