Anchored on the theme, “Filipino Graduates: Prepared to Lead with Competence and Character,” Holy Cross College proudly celebrated its Grade 10 Moving-Up Ceremony and Grade 12 Commencement Exercises, marking a meaningful milestone in the academic journey of its students.
A total of 144 Grade 10 completers, composed of 74 boys and 70 girls, took a significant step forward as they officially transitioned to Senior High School. With pride and determination, they carry with them the knowledge and values that will guide them in the next phase of their education.
Equally momentous was the recognition of 197 Grade 12 graduates, including 95 boys and 102 girls, who now stand ready to embark on new paths in higher education and professional life. Their graduation reflects not only academic achievement but also the development of integrity, resilience, and leadership, qualities essential in shaping responsible Filipino citizens.
The ceremony was graced by the inspiring message of Atty. Jenina Ysabelle M. Gutierrez, who served as the commencement speaker. In her address, she underscored the importance of competence grounded in strong moral character, urging graduates to lead with purpose, remain steadfast in their principles, and contribute meaningfully to the nation.
The celebration was filled with pride and gratitude as families, faculty, and the entire HCC community witnessed the success of this year’s completers and graduates. More than a recognition of accomplishments, the event stood as a testament to Holy Cross College’s commitment to molding individuals who are not only academically prepared but also guided by values and character.
As they move forward into new horizons, these HCCians embody the true essence of the theme, Filipino graduates ready to lead, serve, and inspire.
Congratulations, Batch 2026!
