Grade 10 and Grade 12 students enter the world of frosted fairytale through the High School Ball.
On April 12, 2025, students traded their familiar blue uniforms for dazzling suits and gowns, as the Grand Ballroom of Acacia Hotel Alabang transformed into a snowy fairytale for this year’s High School Ball. The evening shimmered in shades of blue, white, and silver, reflecting the magic of the night—a vivid contrast to the usual school day, where blue is the color of routine, not royalty.
The night began with a grand entrance, where the Grade 10 and Grade 12 students, now dressed in their finest, set the tone for the magical evening ahead. After the opening remarks, th e crowd was treated to an exciting intermission number, followed by a meal and countless photos at the photobooth. The air was alive with excitement, laughter, and the buzz of anticipation.
In one of the most heartfelt moments of the night, the Student Council President, Sam Leonard Borromeo, took the stage to deliver a gratitude speech, thanking everyone who helped make the ball a reality, from the organizers and chaperones to the students whose energy and spirit brought the night to life. As the night drew to a close, Jazmine Faith Tee and John Telemachos Bancairen were cordially presented the Star of the Night Award, to which both parties accepted graciously. Sabina Lorraine Talikeg, alongside Vince Joseph Santiago accepted the award for Best Dressed with pleasure, humbly receiving the titles amidst cheers and applause.
As always, the night culminated with the familiar tradition: the lights dimmed, the music kicked up, and everyone gathered for the final celebration. It was the perfect way to end a magical evening, as students danced and partied together in a joyful finale.
