Carlos P. Garcia Senior High School (CPGSHS) has officially implemented a blended learning modality until further notice following the magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck Mindanao last June 8.

The move comes in compliance with the City Government’s mandate that only schools that are officially included in the Office of the City Building Official’s (OCBO) final list may continue their face-to-face classes.

Although structural assessments may have been conducted in some schools, the OCBO still holds the final declaration with regards to the safety of school buildings after conducting thorough inspections and evaluations.

As of writing, CPGSHS still has not received an official clearance to resume face-to-face classes. In response to this, school administrators have implemented blended learning modality to ensure educational continuity while prioritizing the safety of students, teachers, and school personnel.

School officials advise parents and students to wait for an official announcement regarding the resumption of in-person classes.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Densaldo Jr. M. Gumobao, an Accountancy, Business and Management teacher of Carlos P. Garcia Senior High School on June 1, 2026.

Mr. Gumobao committed his life to teaching young minds. His knowledge, passion for teaching, and genuine concern for learners made a lasting impact on our school. He was an exceptional educator, a compassionate colleague, and a friend.

We extend our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies to his bereaved family, friends, colleagues, and students in this difficult time.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.

Grade 11 and Grade 12 students of Carlos P. Garcia Senior High School (CPGSHS) were recognized during their Recognition Ceremony held on March 27 at the Barangay 22–C Covered Court.

The ceremony marked a significant milestone for the students, highlighting their academic and extra-curricular achievements and personal growth throughout the school year.

“Proud parents and students will receive the fruit of their labor,” Mr. Joberth Sabanal, school principal, emphasized, recognizing the role of families in the students’ success.

He encouraged students to strive for academic excellence and aim for higher honors to qualify for such opportunities.

Moreover, he underscored essential values that students should develop, including determination, perseverance, and discipline. He reminded learners that their future “ultimately depends on their own efforts,” with parents serving as their support system.

The awarding of medals and merits followed, recognizing outstanding students from the Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM), Arts and Design, Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) strands for their academic and extra-curricular achievements.

“Success is truly tested in how you help others toward a progressive goal,” Mr. Bernard Cempron, assistant to the school principal said, urging students to apply the skills and experiences they gained in senior high school to their future careers.

The ceremony ended with students carrying both recognition and responsibility as they move forward in their academic and career paths.
