Guest of Honor and speaker, Principal, Faculty Staff, PTA President and Officers,
Alumni, Parents, Juniors, and fellow Seniors, a pleasant good evening.
This lovely evening of, 8th of February in the year 2014 will be one of the most
memorable events of our life, the integral part of our high school experiences –
the Junior-Senior Prom.
In four years of stay in our beloved Alma Mater, the Sta. Catalina Academy, our
student life here will soon come to an end. This is the realization that we are
leaving high school in the days to come. We, Seniors, will take an important step
into a new stage of our life where greater challenge lies ahead.
Juniors, you are the inheritors of the strong and proud legacy of our school.
Being the next batch of Seniors, you will continue the cycle of high school life.
On your shoulders lies the responsibility of being the role model where
underclassmen will look upon to you as their big brothers and sisters. You will
continue our unfinished tasks as we sail to discover new world. Juniors, strive to
hone your skills and traits of being the leader and role model of the younger
students of our school.
Respect and utilized also the wisdom that you have learned from us, from our
experiences and successes because we have come before you and had crossed
this difficult stage of being the Seniors.
Each mantle bears the weight of task. Put it on, and carry its weight, and go on
with the journey. We knew that you are willing and able to continue the cycle of
work that we are going to left behind.
This turning over of mantle does not mean that we turned our back toward the
school. It only marks the beginning of our greater responsibility toward our Alma
Mater as well as the community.
We have a vision for our school -- a vision of greatness. I exhort you, all of you,
Juniors to nurture this vision as I passed this mantle of responsibilities on to you.
May each and every one of you will fulfill your roles and commitments with honor,
passion and pride.
