The Ateneo Senior High School (ASHS) Sanggunian Executive Council (ExeCoun) officially launched the theme for School Year (SY) 2025–2026, “Tuloy, Atenista!”, on Monday, August 18, at the third-floor Formation and Learning Center (FLC).

The launch followed the Mass of the Holy Spirit, with Student Ambassador Program (SAP) representatives Cheska Jovellanos and Red Ong serving as hosts.

In his remarks, Sanggunian President Julius Yusingbo announced that the ASHS is celebrating three milestones this school year — the 50th anniversary of the Tulong Dunong (TD) program, the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’, and the 10th founding anniversary of the ASHS.

He also explained that the theme serves as a guide and inspiration to “continue to welcome the people, the stories, and the milestones that shaped the senior high school we all know today.” 

He concluded, “Patuloy tayong magpatuloy, ASHS.”

Afterwards, members of the ExeCoun revealed the theme banner from the third-floor FLC mezzanine. 

Martino Jarlego from 11-Borja shared his thoughts on the theme, sharing, “It’s a really vibrant theme and has a lot of positivity spread around it.” 

“It’s true Atenean,” he added, noting that the theme is welcoming to the entire ASHS community. 

He further remarked that living out the theme “should continue whether or not we’re having good or bad days.” 

The program concluded with Raphael Nolido of the Blue Babble Battalion leading the students in singing the school hymn, “A Song for Mary.”
