To conclude the 2021-2022 school year, Mount Carmel School held its annual commencement ceremonies this past week at the Mount Carmel Cathedral. <\/p>\n

After two years of COVID-19 restrictions, many family members and friends of the school\u2019s graduates were able to attend this year\u2019s commencement ceremonies. For those unable to attend in-person, the graduation ceremonies were also streamed live online through the Mount Carmel School Facebook page.<\/p>\n

This year, Mount Carmel School conferred diplomas for 36 kindergarten students, 55 eighth-grade students, and 52 graduating seniors.<\/p>\n

Among the eighth-grade graduates, William Matthew B. Cano earned the title as class valedictorian, while Valerie Anne Rivera Estella earned the salutatorian award.

Among high school graduates from the Class of 2022, Aleia Carlinne Hofschneider Santos earned the title as the school\u2019s valedictorian, while Richard Jesus Mafnas Villagomez was the salutatorian.<\/p>\n

During her welcoming remarks, MCS principal and acting president Frances Taimanao congratulated all the students and commended them for the impact they\u2019ve made during a challenging school year of school closures, transitions between face-to-face and remote learning, and COVID-19 tests and restrictions, all the while promoting school spirit and excellence.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are a creative group of young people who have shown good character and leadership for the students in this school. You have shown leadership in your own unique ways. You have involved yourself in the school\u2019s leadership meetings, the planning of the school\u2019s strategic master plan, community services, sports, charity, island wide competitions, and much more,\u201d said Taimanao.<\/p>\n

She also thanked the parents of the graduates. \u201cTo the dedicated parents of these graduates. Congratulations and a job well done. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made just to send your child to Mount Carmel. For this, we are forever grateful. On behalf of the board of directors, the leadership team, faculty and staff, thank you for all your support and for believing in Catholic education.\u201d

The keynote speaker for the commencement ceremony, former school president Dr. Galvin Deleon Guerrero, left many in the audience emotional. Leading with the theme about the value of time and how more often than not people tend to dedicate time to trivial situations that often do not matter, Deleon Guerrero said: \u201cIt\u2019s funny how, more than our own family and friends, we seem to pay more attention to complete strangers whose lives have absolutely no consequence to us\u2014trolls, haters, celebrities, social influencers, or fictional characters on TV shows like Bridgerton. But, imagine also if you knew that a dear family member or a close friend were to die one year from now, one month from now, or one week from now. What would you do with that time? Would you make an effort to visit your grandparents of your own accord? Would you reach out to those who have hurt you, or those you have hurt, to make amends? Would you join the gang at the beach, return someone\u2019s call, or simply respond to a message, instead of leaving it unread?\u201d<\/p>\n

Deleon Guerrero left the graduates with three primary lessons. First, make the most of their time. Second, make the most of other people\u2019s time. Lastly, make the most of moments of time. Bringing his speech back to the same question he asked at the beginning, \u201cIf you knew you only had 30 seconds left, what would you do? So right here, right now, let\u2019s take 30 seconds to carpe diem and savor this very moment. When I start the timer, look at your family, look at your teachers, look at your friends. Feel free to cry. Feel free to laugh. Feel free to cheer. But, whatever you do, make the most of these 30 seconds.\u201d<\/p>\n

During each event, the following awards were presented for the eighth and twelfth-grade graduates:<\/p>\n
