Warm greetings!

This year, 2022, marks the 25^th year since our batch graduated from the pillars of St. Joseph’s High School - now officially known as St. Joseph School - La Salle. It is a La Sallian school in Barangay Villamonte, Bacolod City, Philippines, that was established in 1960 for the purpose of educating the youth especially the underprivileged. One of its missions is to provide accessible, excellent, and relevant La Sallian education.

To make our 25^th year remarkable, we are looking to contribute to the achievement of our Alma Mater’s mission. Among the projects we target to deliver this year are:

• Digital Learning and Innovation Hub

• Batch ’97 Scholarship Fund

Digital Learning and Innovation Hub

We hope to provide a venue for learning and innovation that is relevant and adaptive to the shifts in the learning systems just like the one brought by the pandemic.

Our batch is spearheading the establishment and initial set up of a Digital Learning and Innovation Hub (DLI-HUB). It is a technology-enhanced classroom that would enable teachers to integrate digital tools into their instruction materials and foster student learning experiences that are engaging, interactive, meaningful, and innovative. At the same time, it will be a space that can open and advance more opportunities and possibilities.

We believe that this will equip the next generation to face the future paradigm shifts and adversities with resilience and with hope. We believe that this project will support the noble role that this institution had played for decades in giving hope to the youth especially those whose only ticket to reach their dreams, better their lives and better their community is QUALITY EDUCATION.

Batch ‘97 Scholarship Fund

Our Alma Mater was hit hard when the pandemic started in early 2020. A significant number of deserving scholars lost their benefactors. It is our hope that we can send a few of them back to school and complete secondary education, with prayers that one day, they too, will reach their full potentials as adults and be able to give back to their families and respective communities.

We are excited to celebrate the fulfilment of our batch’s vision with your support.

In St. La Salle,
