Sta. Maria National High School

As part of the school’s commitment to environmental stewardship and community service, the learners of Grade 9 – St. Claire and Grade 12 – Commitment participated in the Wednesday Clean-Up Drive conducted in the barangay.

Together with the teachers, Sir Roldan Ponce and Ma’am Jessa Villegas, the students actively engaged in cleaning streets, collecting waste, and helping maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the community.

This activity not only promoted environmental awareness but also instilled in learners the values of responsibility, cooperation, and volunteerism. Through initiatives like this, Sta. Maria NHS continues to encourage students to become active partners in building a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable community.

As part of its commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive, and learner-friendly environment, Sta. Maria National High School successfully conducted its Bullying Prevention School Campaign led by Ma’am Lou Ann S. Peñonal.

The campaign aimed to raise learners’ awareness of the different forms of bullying, its harmful effects on individuals and the school community, and the importance of promoting respect, kindness, and empathy among peers. Through informative discussions and advocacy activities, students were encouraged to stand against bullying and become responsible members of a supportive and respectful school community.

This campaign is especially relevant in today’s time, when incidents of bullying continue to be evident both inside and outside school, including through social media and other online platforms. By educating learners about the consequences of bullying and the importance of treating others with dignity and respect, the school hopes to strengthen a culture of understanding, acceptance, and compassion.

Sta. Maria NHS remains steadfast in upholding child protection policies and ensuring that every learner feels safe, valued, and empowered. Together, let us continue to promote a school environment where kindness prevails and bullying has no place.💙

Sta. Maria National High School successfully participated in the 2nd Quarter National Simultaneous Earthquake Drill (NSED) under the leadership of our DRRM Coordinator, Sir Michael Gregor S. Mondia, reinforcing the school’s commitment to disaster preparedness and safety.

Students, teachers, and school personnel actively participated in the drill by practicing the proper “Duck, Cover, and Hold” procedure and orderly evacuation protocols. The activity aimed to enhance awareness, readiness, and response in the event of an actual earthquake, helping ensure the safety of everyone in the school community. The NSED is a nationwide initiative that promotes disaster resilience and preparedness among Filipinos.

Together, let us continue building a culture of preparedness and resilience.
