Always On Valentine's Day

 While the Ilocos Sur Festival (formerly known as the Kannawidan Festival) typically spans several weeks in late January and early February, its grand finale is famously held always on Valentine’s Day. This strategic timing transforms February 14th into a dual celebration of romantic love and provincial pride, where the final night often features star-studded concerts, the crowning of the festival queen, and a massive display of fireworks. By placing the "Grand Finale" on Valentine's Day, the provincial government invites locals and tourists alike to experience a "date with heritage," effectively merging the intimate atmosphere of the holiday with the vibrant, communal energy of the street dancing and trade fairs. This tradition has cemented the festival as a premier destination for those looking to celebrate love through the lens of rich Ilocano culture and historical resilience.

 Insight on the 2025 National Science Month Theme Theme: "Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation" The theme for the 2025 National Science Month, "Harnessing the Unknown: Powering the Future through Science and Innovation," is a powerful call to action.

INTRAMURALS

Taking part in these activities helps build social skills, teamwork, and a healthy approach to physical and mental well-being. Intramurals are very important to the school community because they help create well-rounded individuals and a lively school culture.
