Fast-paced rallies, sharp returns, and spirited matches filled the Pagadian City Extension Campus as JHCSC employees took part in the Employees’ Pickleball Competition on August 26, 2026. The activity brought together personnel from across the institution in a friendly yet competitive setting that showcased agility, coordination, strategy, and sportsmanship.

The competition formed part of JHCSC’s 25th Founding Anniversary celebration anchored on the theme, “PADAYON JHCSC @ 25: Pride, Achievement, Diversity, Advancement and Youth Oneness Into New Frontiers.” Beyond displaying their skills on the court, participating employees shared moments of camaraderie and teamwork, strengthening connections among colleagues while taking part in one of the sporting activities prepared for the anniversary festivities.

With every rally and hard-earned point, the competition reflected the enthusiasm and competitive spirit of the JHCSC workforce. More than determining winners, the activity provided employees with an opportunity to promote wellness, enjoy friendly competition, and celebrate together as one community while JHCSC marks 25 years of service, growth, and shared achievement.

Soar high, J.H. Cerilles State College!
