Hope Christian High School recently celebrated its 72nd founding anniversary. This year’s theme is Imprints of God’s Faithfulness.
Hope Sunday
Hope Sunday was celebrated last November 25, 2018, at the Hope Theater Hall. The Hope Handbell Ringers opened the service that day. Praise and worship was extra special during that Sunday because the Hope Chorale and UECP’s Praise and Worship team led the worship together. Dr. Cecilio Pedro was the speaker that morning and he talked about making God F.A.M.O.U.S (Faithful, Awesome, Magnificent, Omnipotent, Universal, Splendor.)
Alumni Homecoming
The Alumni Homecoming was cheerfully celebrated on November 25, 2018 at the Hope Gym. Excelsior ’93 hosted this year’s Alumni Homecoming. The Board of Trustees, the Alumni Association, the Golden and Silver Jubilarians, and representatives from different batches graced the event.
Mr. Eddie Choa from Batch ’78 gave the Welcome Remarks and the President’s Report, which was followed by the introduction of the 2018 Most Outstanding Alumnus Awardee and the presentation of the award. Dr. George T. Yang, the recipient of the award, gave his acceptance speech and inspirational message, and then he offered a song number. Mr. John Paul Sy from Excelsior ’93 then led the Thanksgiving Prayer followed by the sumptuous lunch fellowship the guests partook.
While the guests were enjoying their lunch, Mr. Antonio Dy presented the Acknowledgment of Donors. The HCHS Dance Troupe gave a wonderful dance number came next. Then, Mrs. Angeline Tan-Tiller reported on latest school developments. Ms. Danielle Alexanda Dy then filled the gym with her melodious voice as she sang for everyone.
Golden Jubilarians were awarded next. The Silver Jubilarians gave a summary of the projects they did for the past year, and then they were conferred with alumni and school medals. They also presented contributions to the school and Alumni Association. One of the highlights of this program segment was the turnover of the key for the new Hyundai H100 van which was donated by batch Excelsior to the school.
Then, Batch Excelsior ’93 passed the banner of “Truth and Life” to Centauri ’94, who would be hosting the 73rd Alumni Homecoming.
