Then came the farewell message of the batch valedictorian, Ms. Jovelyn F. Tabbu as she stood in front of her moving-up batchmates, prepared to execute her speech and share her thoughts of the whole JHS life. “January 26, 2019-for the first time, I stepped inside the Roces gate as a little girl who is ready to conquer all odds for her dreams. Anxious, yet brave enough to enter a whole new phase of her life.” She stated. “For the past four years, Roces was the home of many ‘firsts’ in my life,” she added.
As the ceremony neared the end, all students sang the symbol song of their choice as the ending song of the ceremony: "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus, followed by the school hymn: "Himno ng Roces".
