Among her many contributions, her most remarkable legacy is the establishment of our school library. Through her efforts, the library was enriched with books donated from the United States and Korea, creating a valuable learning hub for students. This vision became a reality with the financial support of Educators Without Borders (EWB) , founded in 2007 in Korea by educators in Africa and Asia, which provided funding assistance, and the also the generosity of Dr. Nam's brother, who also contributed financially for the purchase of an air conditioner, desktop computer, tablets, bookshelves, tables, and other essential library resources.

The Library
The Library
Students at Santiago National High School are more excited than ever to visit the library! With shelves filled with new books and fun board games, the library has transformed into a warm and inviting space. The cool air from the new air conditioner, paired with the soft carpet where students can sit comfortably makes it the perfect place to relax and learn.
Adding to the excitement is the library’s newest feature: the Research Center. Here, students can access a desktop computer and several tablets to explore a wide range of information through e-library resources from the Philippines and around the world.
With all these wonderful updates, the library has truly become one of the most exciting and welcoming spaces on campus - a place where students love to learn, play, and grow.
