Did you know? Ms. Thess Nebres-Ladrido, Principal of Xavier High School, is a proud and distinguished alumna of the Jesuit Volunteer Philippines (JVP) program, Batch 17 (B17).

She is closely associated with Pangantucan, Bukidnon, which served as her mission area and a meaningful place during her volunteer work with the Jesuit Volunteer Philippines Foundation.

Fittingly, this year marks the second year that our Xavier high school boys have experienced the hospitality and beauty of Pangantucan Community High School and its community as part of XPLORE Northern Mindanao.

A beautiful reminder of how a life of service comes full circle, rooted in mission and lived out by the next generation. 💙💛
