"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." — Colossians 3:23
This Friday, March 13, 2026 — Holy Trinity School honors those who gave more than what was asked. Those who led with faith, served with purpose, and pursued excellence in everything they touched.
GAWAD TRINITARIANS 2026
An Awarding Ceremony for the Most Outstanding Members of:
HTS Student Council | The Sword HTS | Media Trinitarians
These students didn't just join organizations — they became the heartbeat of them. Through every council session, every article written, every story told, they carried the Trinitarian spirit into everything they did.
Today, we don't just give awards. We give witness to what it looks like when young people choose to be great — for God, for others, and for their school.
Faith that moves. Service that inspires. Excellence that endures.

Every moment captured in Holy Trinity School's Third Quarter Highlights is a testament to what happens when passion meets purpose. Each frame tells the story of our learners growing not just in knowledge, but in character, collaboration, and compassion. This quarter wasn't just about hitting milestones; it was about building the foundation for lives that will make a difference. Here's to our students, teachers, and families who make Holy Trinity more than a school – it's where tomorrow's leaders take shape.

Two Holy Trinity School student-leaders represented the school at the CEAP Regional Youth Camp 2026, joining young leaders from eight dioceses for a two-day celebration of faith, leadership, and social transformation. Julia Nicole Susan (Grade 10, St. Ignatius) and Jomarie Pateño (Grade 11) embodied the Trinitarian spirit as they participated in the program held at St. Peter of Verona Academy in Hermosa, Bataan on January 22-23, 2026.

Under the theme "Empowered Youth for JEEPGY: Living the CEAP Mission in Action," participants from the dioceses of Cabanatuan, San Jose, Iba, San Fernando, Balanga, Tarlac, Infanta (Aurora), and Malolos united with a shared mission, fostering collaboration and a deeper sense of community among the delegates. The JEEPGY framework, which stands for Justice, Peace, Ecology, Poverty, Gender, and Youth Empowerment, served as the guiding principle throughout the camp.

The program opened with a Eucharistic Celebration, grounding the event in its spiritual foundation. The Holy Mass served as a reminder that true leadership and service are rooted in faith, compassion, and commitment to God and community.

Following the Mass, participants attended an insightful session entitled "Youth as Catalyst for Social Transformation: The JEEPGY Mission." The talk highlighted how young people can become agents of change by actively responding to social issues, promoting justice, and living out Christian values in their daily lives. Leadership workshops and collaborative action planning sessions further equipped the delegates with the tools and vision needed to drive meaningful change within their own communities.

Beyond the formal sessions, the program created space for genuine fellowship. Youth from different dioceses interacted, shared experiences, and built new friendships throughout the event. The atmosphere grew even more lively as students enjoyed dancing together, expressing joy, unity, and youthful energy. Through music and movement, barriers were broken, confidence was built, and a stronger sense of belonging formed among participants.

A significant moment came during the recognition and awarding of certificates to the youth delegates. Standing on stage, proudly holding their certificates, participants represented hope, empowerment, and the promise of a brighter future led by faith-driven youth. The ceremony symbolized not only the completion of the program but also each delegate's dedication, perseverance, and active participation.

For Holy Trinity School, the camp marked more than just participation. Susan and Pateño return to campus equipped with deeper understanding of the JEEPGY mission, ready to bring Catholic values and action planning back to their school community. Their representation reaffirms HTS's commitment to forming youth who are not only academically excellent but socially responsible.

The Empowered Youth Program proved to be more than just an event. It was a celebration of unity, faith, joy, and youth empowerment, reaffirming that when young people are given spaces to connect, express themselves, and grow together, they can truly become catalysts for positive social transformation.

The Grade 10 students from St. Ignatius and St. Claire of Holy Trinity School: Center of Catholic Education Inc. (HTS: CCEI) gathered on February 2, 2026, for the first day of their Career Guidance Program designed to help them explore various career paths and make informed decisions about their future professions. Through guided discussions, sharing of ideas, and self-reflective activities, students gained valuable insights and inspiration as they prepared for senior high school and beyond.

The program was led by Student Activity Coordinator Mr. John Mar E. Susan, who shared experiences from his own youth to encourage students to avoid common mistakes and think seriously about their future. Day One focused on self-awareness through activities such as the Self-Portrait Bag, Dream Collage Making + Peer Sharing, Journal Writing, and "Mystery Box." These activities encouraged students to reflect on their talents, dreams, and goals.

"We may laugh about it now, but what you created today came from careful thought. These are your talents and passions, there's nothing wrong with them. Every journey has a destination, and every person needs to dream and set goals," Mr. Susan told students during the session.

Overall, the first day of the Career Guidance Program helped students better understand their interests, talents, and goals, emphasized the importance of self-awareness in making wise career decisions, and guided Grade 10 students to prepare for senior high school with greater confidence and direction.

𝗣𝗔𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗔 – In a stunning display of journalistic excellence that has rewritten the record books at Holy Trinity School: Center of Catholic Education, Inc. (HTS: CCEI), the institution's first-ever deployment to the Cluster Schools Press Conference culminated in a historic breakthrough that has ignited pride across the entire school community.
Mr. Rav Johruh Kashmiel L. Tuazon, a Grade 10 student from St. Ignatius, has etched his name into school history as the first Trinitarian student to qualify for the Division Schools Press Conference (DSPC), securing a remarkable 5th place finish in Editorial Writing among a highly competitive field of over 30 contestants from across the cluster.
The achievement carries profound significance for the fledgling campus journalism program at HTS: CCEI. Making their inaugural appearance at the cluster level, the school's journalistic team entered the competition as underdogs, facing established campus publications with years of competitive experience. Yet it was Tuazon who emerged as the lone qualifier from the entire HTS: CCEI delegation, meeting the stringent top-eight cutoff required for DSPC advancement.
The Editorial Writing category, known for demanding sharp analytical skills, persuasive argumentation, and polished prose under pressure, tested competitors' ability to craft compelling opinion pieces on contemporary issues within strict time constraints. Tuazon's performance demonstrated not only technical mastery but also the critical thinking and articulate expression that define exceptional student journalism.
For HTS: CCEI, the qualification represents a watershed moment in the school's expanding commitment to comprehensive student development beyond the traditional classroom. The campus journalism program, though in its nascent stages of competitive participation, has now proven it can cultivate talent capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the region's most accomplished young journalists.
As Tuazon prepares for the elevated competition at DSPC, he carries with him not only his own aspirations but the collective hopes of an entire school community now galvanized by possibility. His success has illuminated a path forward for future Trinitarian journalists, proving that dedication, talent, and institutional support can overcome even the steepest odds.
The road ahead promises greater challenges, but Holy Trinity School: CCEI has already demonstrated that its students possess the caliber of excellence required to compete at the cluster levels. The question now is: what comes next?
