To date, the school has a teaching force consisting of thirty-six regular Teachers,

one LGU Contractual Teacher, one SPED Teacher, headed by one School Principal
and the following non-teaching staff: one clerk, one Book keeper, one Disbursing
Officer and one Guidance Counselor.

The school has also created several extension schools throughout the municipality
with the help of the Local Government Unit of Sibulan, bringing education into the
doorsteps of the clientele. Now, the school has ten annexes located at various
barangays of Sibulan. These are Ajong HS, Bolocboloc HS, Balugo HS, Enrique
Villanueva HS, Maningcao HS, Maslog HS, Tubigon HS, and San Antonio HS. In
addition, the school also offers Night High school and one of the major
breakthroughs, the Science High School. All are geared towards serving the
constituents of Sibulan and its nearby municipalities.

Sibulan National High School is an institution that provides well- disciplined, value-
laden and globally competitive graduates imbued with the essential knowledge and
skills of productive citizens of the community.

Sibulan National High School also commits to provide quality classroom instructions
by imparting learning through competent and adequately trained teachers and staff
who demonstrate desirable values and traits that shall explore all
avenues to gain
commitment and greater participation of stakeholders to school programs,
projects and activities.

With this mission-vision the school has boosted lots of improvements in both
academic and non- academic competitions. I am very grateful to all the faculty
and staff for your hard work and dedication. We have accomplished a lot. We
are very good. But we can be GREAT. My dear teachers, parents
and stakeholders, our tasks indeed will go beyond to the highest realm of our
individual calling. We become paragons of learning to our students as we
continue ourselves to strive for excellence.

Just this year, we were able to harvest the fruits of our toils. The workforce and
the student body comprise a strong and rich human resource which is evident in
the awards and recognition garnered by teachers and students in various
academic contests and non-academic competitions in sports, arts and other
events. These competitions range from division, regional, and national levels. It
has also produced competent graduates who have become assets in their
universities and colleges and in the community. Students coming from Sibulan
National High School are equipped with relevant skills which make them
become more useful in the community.

Our endeavors are focused in the continuous improvement of our school’s


performance. However, in spite of the efforts extended by the teachers still our
Mean Percentage Score of 54.83% in the National Achievement Test is so far
from the Division MPS goal of 85%. For SY 2013-2014, our drop-out rate has
increased by 0.34% as compared to the previous year’s rate. The enrollment has
also increased by 1.3%.

On the other hand, the school is also fortunate to have very supportive alumni
who are willing to give donations. The PTA officials also work hand in hand with
the school especially in the implementation of school programs and projects. For
SY 2013-2014, participation of the PTA , meetings and conferences reached 70%
both for general PTA meetings and the Homeroom PTA gatherings. Non-
government organizations and other government agencies have made linkages
with the school and have helped provide avenues for the development of
potentials among the students.

Graduates of the school are privileged to be offered scholarships from the


universities and colleges in the city. Having learned vocational skills in their TLE
subjects, students make use of such skills to have temporary jobs while trying to
save money for enrollment in college or to help augment family income.
Moreover, strong linkages were also established like for instance, the SPI of
Dumaguete City which has been our partner for two years now through their
Community Service Program. The Visayan Forum, under their Kasambahay
Program also provided bicycles and allowances to our poor but deserving
working students.

To strengthen the implementation of (ECARP) Every Child A Reader Program,


Sibulan National High School has created a reading program to respond the
needs of the students who have reading deficiencies. The essence of the Library
Hub gives an edge to avail reading materials not just for the students but for the
teachers as well.

To intensify and maximize its benefits, a Reading Camp was initiated. Students
were engaged in various activities such as storytelling, spelling bee, speech choir,
declamation, extemporaneous, quiz bowl, and oral reading competitions.
We have also “Open High School Program which is an alternative mode of
secondary education that uses distance learning. This is a program of the
Department of Education in consonance with the Education for All (EFA) goal of
making every Filipino functionally literate by 2015. “

In response to this goal, Sibulan National High School OHSP is now on its third
year of implementation. In fact, for two years SNHS has produced seven OHSP
graduates. It marks the history of Sibulan National High School.

Another milestone to embrace is the implementation of the (SPED) Special


Education Program. For this year, we have six Low Vision students and one
Hearing Impaired student who are mainstreamed in the regular classes.

As to staff development aspects, School – based INSETs were conducted every


year, attended by teachers. Almost all the teachers were able to attend Division-
led trainings, 10 teachers were able to attend Regional – led training, while 1
teacher attended National competition such as National Schools Press
Conference.

One of the paramount foci of the school is Student Development. Clubs and
organizations are recognized as partners in attaining holistic development. The
school has an active religious organization – focused organization such as the
Catholic Youth Ministry (CYM) and the Young Life.

Campus Youth Ministry Philomeners of Christ was formally organized last school
year 2007-2008 thru a Division Memorandum duly signed by the former schools
division superintendent, Dr. Milagros C. Velez supervised by the Marian
Missionaries of the Holy Cross.

In response to this call, Sibulan National High School upholds its mission of
strengthening the spiritual aspect of the students by conducting prayer meetings
to express their anguish an emotional imbalance.

As an educational institution, the teachers are very important human resources,


tasked to assist the child in attaining knowledge and enhancing their skills and
talents. There is a 1:50 teacher – student ratio as of SY 2012-2013 and SY 2013 -
2014. Hence, each teacher must skillfully balance the attainment of her lesson
plans while making it sure that all the 50 students with various family
backgrounds, attitudes and passions will be given equal opportunities for
academic growth.

In the aim to further enhance the academic journey of each student and to fully
implement of the K-12 Curriculum, textbooks were provided. However, it is sad
to note that there are some learning areas that are not given textbooks yet.

This year, the Guidance and Counseling Center has lined up several activities and
programs, like symposiums, trainings & lectures, personality development
programs, career guidance program in order to further facilitate students. For SY
2013 – 2014, 90% of the graduating fourth year students were able to attend the
Career Orientation Program. Respected authorities from the Department of
labor and Employment (DOLE) and Technology Enhancement and Skills
Development Authority (TESDA) explained on the promising careers here and
abroad. Student leadership trainings were also conducted by the Silliman
University Psychology students and the Guidance and Counseling Center for the
officers both Student Government and Class Officers.

On the Physical Facilities, a total of 30 classrooms situated in campus 1 and 2,


with available teacher’s tables. However, much as the school has a lot to be
proud of, there are also a few aspects where the school needs to focus and
improve. These include computer facilities which are either obsolete or non-
functional at all. With over 1,065 students, the two Science laboratories, four TLE
laboratories and Industrial Arts and a library cannot accommodate them all.

The school stage is now ready for various programs and school events. However,
the school needs to provide covered court for the convenience of everyone. For
the past few years students were just squatting behind the stage or sitting in
front exposing under the scorching heat of the sun. Let us join hands together in
looking for donors to support this project.

After the tremendous event of the province- the 2013 Palarong Pambansa, the
school has also constructed and renovated several comfort rooms. Many things
were fixed and mended. Hopefully, everything will turn out well.

The schools environment is relatively safe. However, in spite of the security


measures provided by the school, 4 robbery incidents were recorded as of this
year.

On the other hand, a number of students still escape from classes by jumping
over the fence. Hence, there is a great need to improve the school fence, which
will entail a huge monetary requirement. For this year we are thankful that
Honorable Mayor Diputado has provided us with additional gate guards for
Campus I and II.

As far as the non-instructional rooms are concerned, the school has a temporary
room where students are served for students’ emergency medical needs. This is
manned by one of the MAPEH Teachers.

In this age of mobile technology, multi-media equipment is very important. As


of SY 2013-2014, a total of 21 functional computers for instruction, sound system,
karaoke, LCD projector with screen used to enhance classroom instruction.

Sibulan National High School is one of the recipients of the DepEd


Computerization Program allowing the students to manipulate the computers
and the DepEd Internet Connectivity Program, giving free internet access to
students who wish to learn and explore the wonders of technology.

Site ownership is guaranteed through a deed of donation by the Local


Government Unit of Sibulan and donated it to the Department of Education.

Amidst all these challenges, Sibulan National High School stands as a growing
institution. These legacies that we engrave to our students may be an instrument
of hopes and inspirations that we are one in our quest to educate the young who
are the future leaders of tomorrow. With your constant support and dedication, I
doff my hat.

Today, marks another milestones of Sibulan National High School, being the new
school administrator, I am honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to
serve you all.

When we WORK TOGETHER, we CAN ACHIEVE great things.

Thank you so much.
