Once upon a time, there was an institution known as Northern Samar Colleges.

The school was known

far and wide, not for its grandeur, but for its extraordinary principal, Mrs. Socorro V. Dela Rosa.

Maam D was not just a principal; she was a mentor, a guide, and a friend to all. She believed that every
student, regardless of their background or abilities, had the potential to do great things. Her approach to
education was not just about academics, but about nurturing well-rounded individuals who could
contribute positively to society.

Maam Dela Rosa was known for her innovative teaching methods. She understood that every student
was unique and learned in their own way. So, she encouraged teachers to adapt their teaching styles to
cater to the individual needs of each student. She also introduced extracurricular activities, believing
that learning extended beyond textbooks and classrooms.

Beyond her role as a principal, Maam Dela Rosa was a compassionate human being. She was always
there for her students, ready to lend a listening ear or offer words of encouragement. She treated
everyone with respect and kindness, instilling in her students the values of empathy and understanding.

Under Maam Dela Rosa's leadership, Northern Samar Colleges flourished. Students excelled not just
academically but also in sports, arts, and community service. The school became a beacon of holistic
education, and Maam Dela Rosa was its guiding light.

One day, the news of Maam Dela Rosa's sudden passing swept through NSC. The loss was immense.The
school, once buzzing with life and laughter, was now silent, as students and teachers mourned the loss of
their beloved principal.

Maam Dela Rosa’s funeral was a testament to the impact she had made on everyone's lives. Students,
teachers, parents, and even former students who had moved on to different paths in life came to pay
their respects. Stories of her kindness, wisdom, and innovative approaches to education were shared,
each one painting a picture of a woman who had dedicated her life to nurturing young minds.

In the days that followed, the school community came together to honor Maam Dela Rosa's legacy. They
pledged to uphold the values she had instilled in them and to continue her vision of holistic education. A
memorial was set up in her honor in the school, serving as a reminder of her invaluable contributions.
Even though Maam Dela Rosa was no longer physically present, her spirit lived on in Harmony High
School. Her teachings continued to guide the students and teachers, and her values remained at the
heart of the school's ethos.

The story of Maam Dela Rosa, the best school principal NSC ever had, became a tale passed down from
generation to generation. A tale of a woman who believed in every student's potential, who saw
education as a means of nurturing well-rounded individuals, and who led with kindness and
understanding. A tale of a principal who, even in death, continues to inspire and guide.

And that, my students, is the story of Maam Socorro V. Dela Rosa, the best school principal Northern
Samar ever had. A principal whose life and leadership continue to impact the lives of many, long after
her passing.
