A night to relive, to reunite and to remember.
Such was the celebration done during this year’s the Quezon City Science High School (QCSHS) Grand Alumni Homecoming hosted by Batch 1998, last Saturday.
Prepared by the QCSHS Alumni Association, together with Batch 1998 as this year’s silver jubilarians, celebration was one of the highlights of Quesci’s 56th Foundation Anniversary celebration.
Almost 600 graduates of Quesci from batches as early as 1970 until 2004 showed up to the disco-themed event in the school gym to celebrate their alma mater and reunite with old classmates and friends.
It was spearheaded by members of the host batch namely Catherine F. Cate, Arvin Acosta and VJ Eugenio.
QCSHS Alumni Association also recognized this year’s Achievement Awardees and Heroes against Covid from Kisay (HACKS) as announced by board members Dennis Legaspi and Mary Grace Espiel.
One of the Achievement awardees in government service Atty. Mark Dale Perral advised his fellow Scientians, “Seryosohin lang natin ang time natin sa kisay, at the same time I-maintain din natin ang study-life balance.”
This year’s golden jubilarians of Batch 1973 prepared an audio-visual presentation (AVP) reminiscing about their time in QueSci and countless memories they have made as Scientian students over the years.
Organizing an event as big as the alumni homecoming was not an easy task, as stated by Cate, “It was a very overwhelming experience, at the same time a very meaningful one, though I would admit it was very hard. But with the help of the organizing committee and batch ‘98, we were able to pull it off.”
Cate also noted how it was a very good experience to see all of those batches from across life all wanting to ‘give back’ to our alma mater.
QCSHS principal Ms. Carolyn Simon was also present to express her feelings of hope for the current Scientians in reaching their dreams and aspirations in life.
QCSHSAAI president Atty. Benjamin Moraleda recalled how it was starting to organize alumni homecomings, “When we started this (Alumni Homecoming Event) in 1998, sabog pa, wala pang system, wala pang data. The following year, 1999 na-establish na namin yung data, kinuha namin yung names ng mga graduates, and nag establish kami ng system para ma contact sila isa-isa. Now, dahil traditional na ang event, na institutionalize na system namin in organizing.”
Moraleda noted that what remained constant among Scientians was the sense of camaraderie.
Some current faculty members and some teachers of Batch 1998 also graced the occasion.
Himig Scientia was also there to perform classic OPM hits such as Ang Huling El Bimbo.
Event was capped off with the passing of the key to Batch 1999, next year’s homecoming host and silver jubilarians.
