Makabuluhang Flag Ceremony ng JNHS, Tampok ang 'Karagatan ng Karapatan' at Pledge of Peace.

Isinagawa ang Flag Ceremony nitong Lunes, Hulyo 6, 2026, sa Japitan National High School na dinaluhan ng mga mag-aaral, g**o, at iba pang kawani ng paaralan. Tampok sa seremonya ang temang "Karagatan ng Karapatan," isang adbokasiyang isinusulong ng Department of Education (DepEd) upang mapalalim ang kamalayan ng mga mag-aaral hinggil sa karapatan at soberanya ng Pilipinas sa West Philippine Sea. Sa pamamagitan nito, binibigyang-diin ang kahalagahan ng pagkakaisa, pagkamakabayan, at pagpapahalaga ng bawat Pilipino sa likas na yaman at teritoryong nararapat sa bansa.

Kasunod nito, nagbigay ng mga mahahalagang anunsyo ang Punong-g**o, si G. Nilo J. Dela Torre Jr. Kabilang sa kanyang mga paalala ang nalalapit na Unang Summative Test ng mga mag-aaral at ang patuloy na pagpapatupad ng Anti-Bullying Campaign ng paaralan. Binigyang-diin niya ang kahalagahan ng paggalang, disiplina, at mabuting asal bilang pundasyon ng isang ligtas, maayos, at mapayapang kapaligiran sa loob ng paaralan.

Nagtapos ang Flag Ceremony sa Pledge of Peace, isang bahagi ng programa ng Youth Formation. Pinangunahan ito ng SSLG President na si Cathy M. Arañez, kasama ang mga kinatawan ng BKD, YES-O, at SSLG, at nakiisa rin ang lahat ng mga mag-aaral sa panunumpang nagsusulong ng kapayapaan, paggalang, at responsableng pakikisalamuha sa loob ng paaralan.
