Principal’s Message

Climbing the Mountain of Life

If you have defined what you really want in life and fixed your goals, then you are ready to climb the mountain of life.

Tribulations and sacrifices come along with punctuations of successes and failures.  Happiness intertwine with disappointments. Your senses bombard you with feelings of joy and frustrations. You feel you are climbing to the summit of a physical mountain; to the peak of technical competence and scientific proficiency; to the apex of professional achievement, financial endowment, and material comfort.

You ask yourself if this is the reason why ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE at the Science High School is such a big issue!

But then you realize that no enjoyment comes from things material unless you have uplifted likewise, the life of your family and friends, community and country. No man, indeed, is an island, and you begin to comprehend that SOCIAL RELEVANCE brings you to a different level of satisfaction and relief.

As you pursue your quest, many of you will reach the summit of your hopes and aspirations. But some will stumble by the wayside, get lost, or fall from dangerous cliffs of wrong decisions and missed opportunities.

But whether you succeed or fail, the essence of the  SPIRITUAL NURTUREMENT you shall have gained in this institution will soothe your souls. For everything is temporary. The fruits of spectacular achievements will disappear. Failures and heartaches of the greatest magnitude will vanish. And only the reality of your own souls will remain.

In the meantime, my dear students, let us engineer your minds, hearts and hands so that you can go out and conquer this globalizing and material-oriented world.

Let  cutting-edge subjects, high technology classrooms, super-competent teachers, e-Learning resources and Computer-Aided Education become your tools of domination.

You must desire, discover and experience the essential things  that will ease and accelerate your climb to this mountain of life. You may forget your location; but always bear in mind your direction!
