LDCU-stem 1

LDCU STEM 1, S.Y. 2024–2026, now signing off.

As we step into different paths and face what comes next, we carry more than just knowledge. We bring with us the memories, the late nights, the laughter, and everything we went through together. What started as a group of classmates slowly became something deeper, something that feels like family.

We may not walk the same roads from here, but what we built will always stay with us. No distance can take away the bond we’ve formed.

Here’s to every moment, every lesson, and everything that shaped us into who we are today. And here’s to all the journeys waiting for us ahead.

To the 𝓒𝓵𝓪𝓼𝓼 𝓞𝓯𝓯𝓲𝓬𝓮𝓻𝓼 of 𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙙𝙚 12 𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙈 1, thank you. 🫂🤍

Not everything you did was seen. Not every effort was appreciated the way it should have been. But you still showed up, again and again, even when it was exhausting, even when it felt like too much. You carried responsibilities most of us never had to think about, and you did it while trying to keep all of us together.

You were not just leaders when things were easy. You stayed when things got messy, when plans fell apart, when people complained, when it would have been easier to step back. But you did not. You stayed.

And because of that, this journey became something real. Not perfect, not always smooth, but something we will remember for how it felt. For having people who tried, who cared, who did not give up on us.

As we move forward, we carry the kind of leadership you showed. Not flawless, but honest. Not easy, but strong.

Thank you for holding everything together when we could not. And congratulations to all of us.

𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐌 𝟏 - 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 2026! 🎓👩🏻‍🎓👨🏻‍🎓
As we prepare to officially close this chapter of our senior high school journey, let us take a moment to look back at the individual snapshots that make up the story of STEM 1. Each photo captures more than just a face. It holds memories, challenges, laughter, and growth that shaped who we are today.

From our very first day filled with uncertainty and excitement, to these final moments of achievement and pride, every step has been part of a journey we will always carry with us. These faces remind us of the friendships we built, the lessons we learned, and the memories we created together along the way.

This is more than just a collection of pictures. It is a celebration of every individual who made this journey meaningful and unforgettable.

Here’s to each one of us who turned ordinary days into lasting memories, and shared moments into something truly special. 💐

Congratulations, STEM 1 Class of 2026. We made it.

One day left before graduation.

It feels unreal how two years turned into this one final moment. What felt like a long flight is now slowly coming to an end, and we are finally preparing to land.

Surviving senior high school was never easy. There were days we wanted to give up, days we felt lost, and days we questioned everything, but somehow, we kept going. We stayed on course, even when the journey got turbulent.

STEM 1 was never perfect. We had misunderstandings, conflicts, and moments when we wanted to give up, but even then, we stayed. We chose to stay.

Through sleepless nights, breakdowns, and endless pressure, we held on. We survived calculus, chemistry, physics, biology, and most especially, research. Through it all, we held on to each other.

And now, here we are. One day away from landing. One day away from saying goodbye to the place that shaped us and the people who became part of our story.

As we step off this flight and into a new journey, I hope each one of us finds the path we are meant for. I hope we find happiness, success, and the courage to chase our dreams.

Now, as we reach the end of this journey, I hope no one ever feels alone again. I hope each one of us finds the path truly meant for us, the happiness we deserve, and the future we once dreamed of.

No matter where life takes us, one thing will always remain.

We are one.
We are STEM 1. 💙✈️

✨A remarkable throwback of STEM UNO at Liceo de Cagayan University - Paseo Del Rio Campus, exploring diverse college course booths 🏢

Each booth opened doors to different fields, sparking curiosity and a deeper understanding of future academic paths. It was a meaningful opportunity to broaden our perspectives as we prepare in our college journey.

What started as a day of exploration has now become a lasting reminder of how close we are to graduation, and how the futures we once imagined are slowly becoming our reality.🎓

~☆ From powerful stories to unforgettable performances, our CPAR musical play truly came to life on stage. 🎭

Inspired by the songs Pulubi, Ang Huling El Bimbo, and Anak, three groups transformed these iconic pieces into meaningful theatrical performances. Each scene, each movement, and every line delivered reflected the creativity, and passion of every performer behind the stage.

Hindi lang ito simpleng pagtatanghal ito ay kwento ng pagsisikap, pagkakaisa, at pagmamahal sa sining. From portraying deep emotions to bringing the music into a new form of storytelling, every group gave their best and made the stage shine.

Truly proud of everyone who made this performance possible. ✨

⋆. 𐙚 ˚ Celebrating excellence as we recognize the 3rd Quarter Academic Achievers of 12 STEM 1 🌟👏

This quarter was honestly a lot. Classes kept piling up, deadlines were everywhere, and everyone was busy preparing for the research defense on top of everything. But even with all that, the class still managed to rank up as academic achievers! .☘︎ ݁˖

BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!! Whether you’re on the list or not, we all pushed through a tough quarter together. Now, with the last quarter coming up and graduation is just around the corner, let’s keep the momentum going and finish strong!👩🏻‍🎓🧑🏻‍🎓

✨️Last week’s PEH Team Building of 12 STEM 1 was a pure chaos in the best way📣

So many games, so much running, shouting, and nonstop laughing. Everyone got tired, got loud, and probably lost their voices, but none of that mattered because the class were having so much fun together.

It wasn’t just about the games, but about bonding, sharing laughs, and making memories as a section. Definitely one of those PEH days we won’t forget anytime soon 💙✧٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧

𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘴 𝘣𝘺: 𝘟𝘦𝘯𝘢 𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘺𝘯𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘥, 𝘋𝘦𝘯𝘻 𝘗𝘶𝘦𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘴, 𝘔𝘪𝘢 𝘊𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘥𝘰

A big congratulations to STEM Uno for successfully defending their Final Research Defense! 🎓📚✨

From the concept paper, to the proposal defense, and finally the final defense you made it through every step. ✅
And honestly, this journey wasn’t just about writing a research paper… it was about surviving everything that came with it.

The crash outs, the breakdowns in the middle of writing, the never-ending revisions, and those moments of:
“Hala, mali.” “Revise nasad.” “Balik nasad.”
Not to mention the friendships that almost ended, the ethics stress, and the pressure during preparation and defense week.

So much happened behind the scenes, but you still showed up, stayed strong, and defended with confidence.
This isn’t just a requirement checked off the list this is proof of your hard work, patience, and determination.

At the end of it all, one thing is clear and official:
RESEARCH DEFENDED. ✅📚✨
