he gathering was spearheaded by none other than esteemed educators, Ms. Margie S. De Vera, the Assistant Principal of Junior High School, and the Assistant Principal of Senior High School, Ms. Jenett C. Flores. Their inspiring messages highlighted the importance of preparedness, professionalism, and unwavering commitment in the teaching profession.
