To Dream Is To Begin

ILSHS Holds 8th Graduation and 10th Completion Ceremony

The Integrated Laboratory Science High School (ILSHS), under the College of Education of Mindanao State University – Maguindanao, celebrated its 8th Graduation and 10th Completion Ceremony on June 25, 2025, with the theme β€œGeneration of Unity: Partners for the New Philippines.”

A total of 58 Senior High School (SHS) graduates and 95 Junior High School (JHS) completers were recognized for reaching this milestone.

Prof. Sadat G. Blah, the ILSHS Director, commended the graduates and completers for their determination and resilience, emphasizing their potential to lead national progress. He urged them to continue dreaming, striving, and leading with purpose.

Among the awardees were Lyra A. Bangen, the Class Valedictorian, and Layman N. Abo, the top Junior High School completer, both recognized for their outstanding academic performance.

Ms. Bangen, in her valedictory address, inspired her fellow graduates with these heartfelt words: β€œAnd I say to you todayβ€”if you want to be more, then choose to do more.

Do more with kindness. Do more with integrity. Do more with passion.

Because the world doesn’t need perfect peopleβ€”it needs people who care enough to try, to grow, and to make a difference. This is not the endβ€”this is our becoming.”

The ceremony concluded with a reminder to the graduates that to dream is to beginβ€”and from this beginning, a brighter future takes root.

Congratulations to all the graduates and completers of Batch 2025!
