INTRODUCTION
This year’s Recognition Rites is happening under the unprecedented hardships that the
COVID-19 pandemic has imposed on us. But amidst the pain so many are enduring is
a bright spot. With the support from parents and communities, teachers and students
are carrying on with their respective endeavors as well as they can. In watching them,
we’re all reminded of what learning and teaching entails: the mysteries embedded in
each of the subjects, the lectures, the assignments, the projects, the questions, and
among so many others.
We have all together embraced the challenges of the pandemic for so long already.
With so much value for Education, we have all come far to this day. With that, parents,
teachers and students, please give yourselves a round of applause!
OPENING REMARKS
For our Opening Remarks, ladies and Gentlemen, it is my privilege to introduce our
honorable school principal, MR. VERGEL J. MONTESINES for his opening remarks.
Thank you so much Sir, for the empowering words you have shared.
RECOGNITION OF DESERVING PUPILS (MAJOR AND MINOR AWARDS)
At this point, we are to give the rightful Recognition of Deserving students. We are
requesting our school principal and school administrator to stay on the stage. May I
also request the parents to accompany your child as they receive the award.
Congratulations students!
VIDEO PRESENTATION
This time, we have come to witness an audio-visual presentation for the pupils and
students who exhibited their skills in sports and athletics. Let us all watch the video.
And there you have it. Seeing the students showcase their God-given talents and
taking pride of our school’s name makes us so proud. And for their hardwork and
dedication, why don’t we give them a round of applause.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
For some announcements…
We have reached the end of our program. It is indeed an honor to be a part of this
special event. Congratulations to all the students who excelled in academics and their
chosen disciplines, to the parents for your guidance and support to your children, and
also for the teachers for their wise words and provision. This event would never be
possible without your help.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Recessional.
RECESSIONAL
Again, congratulations everyone!
We would like to ask for our audience to remain in their seats until the last student has
exited the auditorium.
Thank you and have a good day!

I. Processional
Good morning. We are grateful to be able to celebrate graduation day once more this year
because we want the graduates to remember it or mark it on their calendars for the years to
come. Despite the fact that we are still dealing with the threat of a COVID-19 pandemic, the fact
that we are here today to celebrate graduation is a great blessing for us. It signifies the end of
one phase of one’s educational journey and the beginning of another, more challenging phase
of one’s quest for a better life and future

build a door so that success will come to you. Face the challenges confidently and be positive in
overcoming them. Congratulations!
