The CLSU Laboratory for Teaching and Learning – University Science High School (CLTL-USHS) honored its students during the 48th Annual Recognition and Promotion, 10th Completion Ceremonies, and 8th Senior High School Graduation Rites held at the University Auditorium on April 30, 2026. With the theme “Pilipinong Nagsi pag tapos: Handang Mamuno nang May Kakayahan at Mabuting Pagkatao,” the institution recognized 57 Junior High School completers and 61 Senior High School graduates. Mr. Aurelius Maximus R. Esguerra, class valedictorian and recipient of High Honors for his batch, led the graduating class, which produced 17 students with High Honors and 33 with Honors. Ms. Erich Lyann V. Salvador, the lone recipient of Highest Honors and recorded the highest general average among the completers, led her class with 12 students receiving High Honors and 39 garnering Honors. In his valedictory address, Mr. Esguerra emphasized the value of making principled choices, stating, “Sa pagtatapos ng aking talumpati, nais kong iwan sa inyo ang isang paanyayang magpatuloy sa pagpili ng tama. Sapagkat sa bawat tamang desisyon, doon nagsisimula ang tunay na pagbabago. Hindi natin kontrolado ang lahat ng mangyayari sa hinaharap—ngunit hawak natin kung paano tayo pipili araw-araw.” Meanwhile, Ms. Salvador reflected on embracing the future with courage and integrity, sharing, “Hindi natin hawak ang lahat ng mangyayari sa susunod na kabanata, pero hawak natin kung paano tayo haharap dito—may tapang, may dangal, at may tiwala sa sariling kakayahan. Nawa’y manatili sa atin ang kasiyahan sa pagharap sa buhay at ang mabuting pagkataong hinubog sa mga taong lumipas, upang sa simpleng paraan ng pagpasya at pagkilos sa araw-araw, matuto tayong magdala ng mabuting impluwensiya sa iba.” Dr. Rachelle S. Coloma-Daus, an alumna of CLTL-USHS Batch 1993 and its valedictorian, served as the Guest of Honor and Speaker. In her message, she shared how the lessons and experiences she gained during her time at USHS prepared her for the challenges ahead. Drawing from her journey as a medical doctor, she highlighted the lasting value of strong academic foundations and encouraged graduates to remain committed to excellence and purpose. Dr. Evaristo A.
