๐๐๐๐ | Legazpi City National High School Launches Alternative Learning System for Senior High School
On July 2, 2025, Legazpi City National High School's Main Campus launched its Alternative Learning System (ALS), a parallel learning program designed for students who were unable to attend the traditional Senior High School Curriculum.
The initiative was spearheaded by school head Mr. Danilo V. Llarena and various Legazpi City stakeholders.
The launch event was attended by esteemed guest speakers, including Sir Danilo E. Despi, Schools Division Superintendent (SDS); Sir Henry B. Benitez, Public School District Supervisor (PSDS) and Division Alternative Learning System (ALS) Focal Person; Ma'am Portia P. Encisa, Chief of Curriculum Implementation Division; Maโam Maria Soledad P. Nuyles, SGOD Chief; Maโam Kareen B. Ajero and Maโam Elvira Abanes, ALS Education Program Specialists.
"Legazpi City National High School has fully embraced its advocacy of making education truly open to all types of learners, leaving no student behind," stated Mr. Llarena. His words underscored the belief that every learner has the right to basic education, a second chance, and the opportunity to rewrite their dreams.
Legazpi City National High School has been recognized as one of the most inclusive schools, catering not only to Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), Special Programs, and Open High School students but also now to those enrolling in the ALS Senior High School. Over the years of implementing similar programs in the district, LCNHS is now the third school to promote the Alternative Learning System.
Mr. Henry B. Benitez emphasized the significance of the program, stating, "Offering ALS Senior High School is not just about providing opportunities for those in unfortunate situations, but opening a door that awaits unique paths of success."
Schools Division Superintendent Mr. Danilo Despi shared an insightful quote: "Education never catches up, it breaks through." He explained that education is not about rushing to keep pace with others' standards, but about breaking through challenges and barriers. It's not just about acquiring knowledge; it's about self-improvement, unlocking one's fullest potential, and pursuing purpose.
