By Ellianna Custodio

RISE, RUSH, RINSE, REPEAT: A certain population of the school community embarks on daily journeys that stretch beyond the requisitions of the academic day; these headstrong individuals are the commuters, silently proving to the world day after day of their perseverance through it all. They always show up, seldom missing a beat — but few know of the dimly lit streets they have to traverse through and the fickleness of their trips.

Catalytic Connections: Sparking Bonds Through STEM-Connect

By Gilli Aquino

Encompassing ten sections per batch, students of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand make up a large portion of the school community. As our juniors dive into the uncharted waters of the strand, our dear seniors prepare for the changing tides of college life — ready to leave the pool of people they have come to call home.

A Cascade of Yellow: “HumSS Sama-sama!”

HUSAY!: Most students from the Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS) strand were lost in the crowd of yellow as they first entered the Ateneo Senior High School (ASHS). From new lessons in the social sciences to math lessons that reaffirm your choice of strand — it is easy for HumSS students to find themselves adrift. However, dear Humanistas, a path appears in the form of HumSS Sama-sama!, an event that guides HumSS juniors and seniors to new friendships, experiences, and memories.
