NHSOC 1ST Anniversary Reunion 2005
Novaliches
High School has long been proud of its mission to prepare students
with the character and skills needed to be productive members of
today’s society. Therefore, it's difficult to overemphasize the impact
and importance of this educational opportunity. While this can be said
of most high school experiences, there’s something truly inspiring
about our alma mater. Our high school is made of more than just
bricks and mortar - simply taking a tour of our on-line community one
can truly sense the commitment, respect, expertise, and dedication of
the NHS community at large.
Importance of Giving
The sad fact that the expense in providing such individualized,
structured, and specialized education is often a foreign concept sadly
to many public schools and cannot be covered by government funding
alone. Fundraising is one way in which NHS alumni bridges the gap
between government support and operating/capital expenses. It is clear
that the generosity of those who care so much about NHS has had a
major impact on our school, the faculty and its current students.
On Tap for 2006... NHS eLibray NEEDS OUR HELP!!!
Whatever your affiliation with NHS (alumni, parent, grandparent,
past & present students even friends), we hope that you will please
consider making a gift to our school’s eLibrary.
Novaliches High School’s eLibrary Needs the following:
1. computers & CD writers
Ms. Dina Valenzuela (eLibrary in-charge) said, “At present there are
only 2 computers functioning at NHS. Our enrolled students this year
more or less is 7,000. NHS has a computer lab but only those students
who are enrolled in the computer class are allowed to use it. Inside
the library, all the students are given the opportunity to use the
computers in allotted time to allow more students/researchers use in a
day”
2. photocopying machines (To avoid students from tearing off pages
from the limited collection of books and printed materials from
magazines, local &international subscriptions, teacher journals,
yearbooks, atlas, almanacs, thesaurus, and other reference materials
available in the library”.
3. Air conditioning & electric fans
4. LCD TV and Projectors (for viewing educational CD-ROMs for class
discussion)
5. Licensed Educational CD-ROMs: Encarta, CCP Encyclopedia
(Philippines) and other educational CD-ROMs.
