Saint Louis University is a Catholic School that was founded in 1911 by the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary that started as a one-room elementary school for local boys. From an elementary school, it has branched out into the High School department and the College department. It is also a college preparatory school since it is a high school. Today, I go to school at Saint Louis University Laboratory High School (SLU-LHS). It was formerly called as Saint Louis University Boys' High School. It became a co-ed institution in 2003. It was primarily located near the elementary school but was relocated in Navy Base, Baguio City.
A school is a secondary home. Our teachers are our secondary parents. From these statements, you can say that SLU-LHS is my home, and my teachers are my secondary parents since I go to school in the said high school. Besides from my friends, I consider everything in my school as secondary. My secondary parents are my teachers, My secondary room is my classroom, and my secondary brothers and sisters are my classmates.
Every time when summer ends, I always look forward to the beginning of the school because I always have a boring time during the last days of summer. I try to think about my old friends and making some new friends; even socialize with the teachers to get on their good side but not to the extent of sucking up to them. I love the times when me and my friends do some of our nonsense in school. We like doing group works together whoever we are grouped with because we already know each other and spent a lot with each other.
Our school has an assortment of students which makes our secondary home very diverse. SLU-LHS offers different clubs which can satisfy the interests of the students. All students of the same interests can easily relate with one another. It is here where we students feel at home with others who we are socialized with. Even if me and some of my friends didn't like a particular club, we joined that club for a reason which I do not know. Because we joined several clubs (more than two) I could not even remember which club I am supposed to attend or not.
Saint Louis University Laboratory High School is my home and my school. No one can ever take that away from me. All the ridiculous things we do and the serious problems that we confront are very special to me. Even if we can not do the things that we want right away, we make sure that we do it as one coalition and we do it before the school year ends. In everything that we do, we do it thoroughly so as to not commit any mistake. If ever there is a mistake, we will see to it that we fix the problem with high precision. I guess that these are all that I have to say about SLU-LHS. After all statements being said, I think that LHS is truly the best high school for me. SLU will be celebrating it's centennial soon which means one hundred years of LHS being a home for thousands of students who went to this institution for their high school years. SLU-LHS. My home. My school.

My Blog for SLU...a gift for you!!!
Saint Louis University: The Light of the North. It's motto, Sapienta Aedificat meaning "Wisdom Builds" has been the basis of the University's goals to help students. It was founded in 1911 by the CICM (Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae) which was headed by Reverent Father Séraphin Devesse to further Christianize Northern Philippines. He founded a one-room elementary school consisting of 10 local boys and named it Saint Louis University. Since it's founding in 1911, it will soon be celebrating it's 100 years of being a CICM Catholic School - The SLU Centennial.
Saint Louis University as a Catholic Institution aims to help students achieve their goals. This is exactly what it has been doing for the past 100 years. It is proper to celebrate the SLU Centennial to show our appreciation for helping it's past and present students reach their life goals. Being the best at what it does, SLU forms the hearts and minds of it's students so they can fully reach their life's potentials.
It's faculty and staff is the friendliest in the world. They are fun to hang out with and you can even crack jokes with them. Even when you make fun of some of their mistakes, they would not mind it and may take the joke to the next level. Although I advice you not to take the joke seriously and spread the word. The faculty and staff is very open and welcomes all kinds of problems. You can ask teachers questions regarding your academic performance and may get a little tutoring. The guidance counselors can help you with all of your problems in life not because it is their job but because they love helping students in a way. The principal is easy to get along with and does not isolate himself with everybody else. I can not mention all the great things that the school staff has done for me so I will just summarize it all in one sentence: The SLU faculty and staff is the best!
It is hard to think of how I can repay Saint Louis University for the things it has done for me, much less thinking of all the things it has done for me. To start, I think that the best way for me to repay SLU for everything is just doing my best as a student coming from a great Catholic Institution. It is just that being a student in SLU is a great help in itself because it is my tuition fee that pays the faculty and staff. Aside from the money that my parents pay the school, my scores and grades helps give a good name for SLU making parents want to send their children to this wonderful university. In making SLU one of the best schools in Baguio and possibly the Philippines, every student must do their best to make SLU known to all. This is one of my biggest dreams for SLU for the upcoming years. This blog is just a simple way of showing my appreciation for Saint Louis University on it Centennial celebration.
"A one-room elementary school in Baguio means a Saint Louis University for a hundred years."
"Time passes by.Try a little harder. Make every minute last longer. Learn to forgive and forget because we don't have long, make the most of it. Make the most of every moment. Stop saving your best for last."
