Paco Catholic School’s Class of 1967 Celebrates its Golden Anniversary

The 1967 senior class of Paco Catholic School (PCS) will be celebrating their 50th anniversary during the school’s annual homecoming on December 9, 2017. The homecoming will be held in the school grounds in Paco, Manila, together with other classes that will also be celebrating their significant anniversaries. The class of 1992, this year’s silver jubilarians, are spearheading the homecoming activities.

The golden jubilarians, consisting of the boys’ department and the girls’ department of the class of 1967, are planning several projects and events to mark their golden anniversary.

Among these projects is the Career Orientation Day that will be held on December 6, 2017. Members of the class of 1967 will be giving career information to the senior class of 2018 on various career options such as medical and allied fields, technological fields such as engineering (various branches) and architecture, other BS and AB courses not related to the foregoing (education, accountancy, commerce, business administration, tourism, personnel administration, etc) and vocational courses.

In addition, the class also intends to contribute to the PCS scholarship program and to the PCS outreach program for outof-school youth. The class will also donate books and educational materials to the four PCS library sections, encompassing K-12.

Social events such as gettogethers in other venues will also be held. Details of the gettogethers are still being arranged.

The key dates to attend and programs are:

December 6 – Career Orientation and Workshop, to be attended by approximately 700 students of Years 11 and 12
