Welcome Address

To our distinguished guest from the Division office Dr. Nelia Lomocso, our school district
supervisor Mam. Mirasol G. Taray, the Head Teacher - 1 of our institution Mam.
Mercilyn B. Sango, to our FPTA President Mr. Romeo Amarille, to our dynamic teaching
and non-teaching personnel of my beloved Alma mater, to the proud parents, friends,
and audience, a pleasant afternoon and welcome to the Graduation Ceremony of
Barcelona National High School for the school year 2022 – 2023.

The most significant event in a student’s life is none other than graduation. And since it
is the end of this stage in our education, it brings us a mixture of joy and pain. Joy for
reaching our goals, and pain for saying goodbye to the people who became a part of
our lives.

My fellow graduates, we are about to reach college. We must enjoy the next years of
our lives in order for us to reach our goals of graduating high school, and finally, college.
Our Alma Mater, Barcelona National High School, taught us the values that we need in
order for us to face our future without fear.

We would like to thank those who worked hard in organizing this well-prepared event.
Our Graduation is even more memorable because you have spent time and effort to
ensure that we will have a meaningful ceremony. Thank you dear teachers for the
knowledge you have given us and all those lessons you have shared with us. Thank
you dear parents for working hard to give us a good education. We are happy that you
are here with us today because this is a milestone for us. And most of all, thank you
God for all of Your blessings.

And so my dear parents, honored guests, on behalf of the graduating class, it is my

pleasure to welcome you to witness this year’s Graduation Ceremony. Very soon we
shall march on this very stage, one by one, to receive our awards and diplomas.

Classmates, and fellow graduates, remember that it is not the end of our journey but it is
only the beginning and a good beginning is a good ending. A good ending is a
worthwhile experience.” I wish you all good luck for the coming years of our lives. May
the years to come be kind to all of us and may God and His wisdom bless us with
success. Thank you very much. Once again, welcome, and good afternoon.
