In a campus often measured by grades, rankings, and deadlines, a beginning arrives like a breath of fresh air through an open window. As the new academic head of Adamson University Senior High School, Mr. John Albert Gurtiza brings with him a quiet but steady shift in directionโone that treats the mind and heart with the same importance as the report card.
In hallways where pressure can feel like a constant drumbeat, Sir Yohann speaks of balance. He recognizes that students carry invisible backpacksโfilled with expectations, family concerns, self-doubt, and fear of failure. Yet he is equally firm in reminding the community that teachers carry their own weight. They stand at the front of classrooms like lighthouses, guiding others while battling their own storms.
Under Sir Yohannโs leadership, conversations about mental health are no longer whispers behind closed doors. They are welcomed into the open, treated not as signs of weakness but as acts of honesty. He believes that a healthy mind is not a luxury reserved for a few, but a right shared by all students and educators alike.
A better senior high school, in Sir Yohannโs eyes, is not one that only produces students with titles. It is also one that sends out whole, young peopleโstudents who know how to strive without breaking, and teachers who feel seen, supported, and valued.
As Adamson University Senior High School turns this new page, Sir Yohann stands not as a commander at the helm, but as a steady compass. Pointing toward a future where learning is rigorous, but also humane. A future where happiness and health are not afterthoughts, but foundations.
