DNHS Marks 32nd Foundation Anniversary with Day Long Celebration of Unity, Achievement, and Community Spirit
Dumalneg National High School (DNHS) commemorated its 32nd Foundation Anniversary with a full-day celebration that brought together students, teachers, alumni, parents, and community stakeholders in a testament to the schoolโs enduring commitment to education and public service.
Anchored to the spirit of Panagbubulon, which translates to convergence, the celebration opened with a Thanksgiving Mass, followed by the vibrant opening of the School Fair. The event grounds quickly filled with colorful booths, student showcases, and community exhibits, setting an energetic tone for the rest of the festivities.
On the other hand, SPTA President Mrs. Stephanie Natividad conveyed the associationโs continued support for the schoolโs initiatives, emphasizing the role of collaboration in achieving school goals. This was followed by the Presentation of the Accomplishment Report by School Principal I Mrs. Vanessa B. Aguinaldo. She presented a documentary video that highlighted DNHSโ milestones in academic performance, infrastructure development, and community partnerships over the past year, honoring the schoolโs flagship initiative, SALUKAG.
The audience also received an Inspirational Talk from Dr. Jenetrix T. Tumaneng, EPS Monitoring Supervisor, who commended the school for its sustained commitment to quality education and encouraged students to pursue excellence with integrity and determination. She also reminded the learners that their struggles do not define the future, perseverance does.
Adding inspiration to the celebratory atmosphere, Mrs. Cherrie Ann M. Julian, President of the DNHS Alumni Association, delivered heartfelt Words of Encouragement, reminding students of the strength of the schoolโs alumni network and its role in uplifting present learners through: Karunungan, Kalusugan, and most importantly, Kasipagan.
The celebration further gained significance with the Executive Message of Hon. Francisco R. Espiritu, Local Chief Executive, who reaffirmed the LGUโs support for education, citing DNHS as a vital pillar of community development in Dumalneg.
Moreover, the highlight of the opening program was the electrifying performances of selected students from each grade level in a Field Demonstration Competition. The students of Grade 10 captured the coveted title, while the performances of Grade 11 and Grade 9 landed as 1st runner-up and 2nd runner-up, respectively.
And after the morning activities, the Luncheon and Raffle Draw were held at the redecorated mini forest, which brought together attendees for fellowship and shared spirit of celebration.
Consequently, an energetic round of Family Games united parents, teachers, and students in friendly competition that highlighted the solidarity and camaraderie that define the DNHS community.
In addition, the day was capped with the Awarding Ceremony to recognize outstanding learners and supportive stakeholders across categories, celebrating talent, teamwork, and creativity.
As Dumalneg National High School marked its 32nd year, the celebration reaffirmed its commitment to molding future leaders and strengthening community ties. The event stood as both a tribute to the schoolโs past achievements and a renewed promise of continued excellence in the years ahead.
