The Novaliches High School Faculty Non-Teaching Personnel Club (NHS FNTP) recently conducted its election of officers as mandated by its Constitution and By-Laws. The said teachers' organization aims to safeguard the democratic and social well-being of its members through collective efforts in protecting the rights of the teachers.



This year's election was chaired by Mrs. Evelyn Tomas, Teacher III (First Year Level Adviser) together with Mrs. Carmen Parungao, Master Teacher I and Mr. Jessie Payawal, Teacher II.

Mr. Harold Landagan Batch 1987 (NHS Faculty) our website’s NHS Calendar Manager wishes to share with everyone the following on-going activities inside Novaliches High School.

Sir Harold wrote:

“I would like to inform all members of NHSOC about the on-going activities taking place inside our alma mater. Today, August 6th (Wednesday), NHS is scheduled to hold an Earthquake Drill. This is an annual activity which aims to generate the highest level of awareness about earthquake and preparedness program among our students, school administrators and NHS staff. Earthquake drills and exercises are an extremely important part of our school’s preparedness plan as they teach everyone how to respond to the complications of an actual earthquake. The Earthquake Drill is scheduled in two sessions – morning session was successfully held at 12:00 Noon and the afternoon session is scheduled later at 6PM.

Also, for this month of August Novaliches High School is celebrating Filipino Month. I will just inform you all next time about the series of activities scheduled in line with this exciting month-long celebration.

For now, have a great day everyone! Let’s keep the NHS torch burning in our hearts!

Warmest Regards,
Sir Harold"

NHS JS Prom on Saturday, February 24, 2007

NHS JS Prom Forum Link:
NHS Junior Senior Prom this Saturday 2/24/07

The Junior/Senior Prom is the most highly anticipated and well-attended event on our high school lives, and this year will be no exception.

Mr. Gilore Ofrancia (NHS Guidance Counselor; ICT Coordinator; NHSOC "Inside NHS" Forum Moderator) wishes to inform everyone that after a two-year hiatus, Novaliches High School will be hosting once again the Junior Senior Prom this coming Saturday at 4:30PM onwards.

Indeed, the prom is a time when juniors and seniors dress in formal wear and all look many years older than they actually are. Still for some of us as parents, we get a glimpse of what our children have become as they enter adulthood. Indeed this event is fun-filled and exciting for everyone who attends. And sure for many alumni, it brings back such wonderful memories.

NHS On-line Community, wishes all our NHS Juniors and Seniors a very memorable JS Prom!
