The forty years behind have been marked by challenges that tested our courage, yet the essence of gratitude and determination propels us forward, confident that the next chapters hold even brighter possibilities. With passion shared, Lake Sebu National High School reflects genial warmth that greatly contributed to the excellence it holds.
Birds had sung such cheerful notes, and the leaves began to bud forth on the trees for the occasion that not only marks years of shared memories but also provides a chance to embrace the spirit of remembrance and contemplate the humble beginnings of LSNHS.
A fulfilling four decades have been experienced. Despite the challenges of recent times, gratitude and optimism accompany us as we eagerly anticipate the future, fueled by a firm belief that the best years for the school lie ahead.
Students find themselves standing at the crossroads of reflection and anticipation. The past has sculpted us, molded us into the LSNHSIANS we are today. Yet, with every stride, we cast our gaze toward every possibility. The sound of joyful speeches resounds as the students from grade 7 to grade 12 express gratitude and sentiment for the school.
"I feel really happy because I got the chance to study in a school like Lake Sebu National High School. I haven't yet made enough memories, but I'm grateful to start my journey as a high school student here. I hope everyone will be kind enough, and the discipline less severe. Happy 40th foundation anniversary LSNHS!" Viviane Tawil of grade 7 Klutang expressed.
"Although we experience hardships sometimes, our 2 years in Lake Sebu National High School have been filled with excitement and happiness. However, seeing the lack of classrooms made us think that our school must improve its facilities. We're thankful to our school for providing us with knowledge and guidance, and to the teachers who are working hard to understand us." Frioeshia Ghien Carado & Fercyla Granaderos of Grade 8 Boi Solok Minum stated.
"My experiences really contribute to the gratitude I feel for our school. The activities enabled me to enjoy my high school life to its fullest. So I hope the students will become more aware of how participating and showcasing our talents and skills, not just in terms of dancing and singing but also academically. Through this, we can be more confident. I anticipate shared respect for the years to come." Fern Ann Samar of Grade 9 Telemkel also shares how being confident can definitely help every student in enjoying their journey.
"Like anyone new to high school, my grade 8 life, since it was amidst the pandemic during grade 7, has been filled with worries and uncertainties. I thought I wouldn't be able to have any friends, but I found great companions, although some won't last. I also thought it would be impossible to survive, but I realized that any subject would be a piece of cake only if I worked hard enough. Thank you, Lake Sebu National High School, for bringing into light, I didn't expect that I'd be able to reach grade 10 since I was kinda stubborn. Happy 40th foundation anniversary!" Noraiza Tagudan of grade 10 Takul happily expressed.
"I expect nothing but the best that the school gives for the students, and that's what is important. I expect less but I know that our school will prove something, something that's best for the students and for the teachers." Cedric Francis Atam of grade 11 STEM Doun Blata stated.
"Though I haven't even reached a year in Lake Sebu National High School, It really feels different. I know it's not just about the quality of the school, but the school itself sets the standard so high. I'm really grateful that I am here at Lake Sebu National High School as I was given the chance to socialize with the best students and also teachers. Without this institution, maybe I can never get the opportunity to learn some things." Cedric added.
"I knew that the school provides quality education not just for the students but also for the teachers' sake, so that they will transcend that great quality and enable us to learn more and be productive." It hasn't been long since Cedric transferred to Lake Sebu National High School, but he voiced out how he had known since then that the school is one of the prestigious schools, not just in the province of South Cotabato.
"During my five-year experience in our school, I can say that it was fun. Ever since I came as a transferee during grade 8, the standard and quality education have always been provided. I hope they will continue to focus more on the students whose capacity to read is limited, since the pandemic had affected our ability to learn greatly. I'm really thankful for our school's teaching staff for doing the best in providing the best quality of education." Maria Christine Grace Sealmoy of grade 12 under the academic track of STEM Tudbulul.
Joyful cheers had fueled enough optimism, indicating that great efforts propel us toward greater heights. Indeed, Lake Sebu National High School has portrayed triumph not just in the form of awards in different aspects, but it succeeded in fulfilling every student with consolation and relief. LSNHS has rendered many; every learning was a delight to every student.
Perhaps it was strongly built that its elegance had lasted for years with its studentsโpleasant and glorious. What awaits us is yet to be answered but the wind carries hope, though at times with wearisome wuthering; the blow with a dull roaring sound probably is a sign of victory pouring. Future journeys shall be filled with tranquillity, be gilded by bright rays of hope, and anticipations of joy.
