The ceremony was attended by members of the JHCSC Board of Trustees, college officials, deans, program chairs, faculty, staff, graduates, and proud parents.

JHCSC President Dr. Edgardo H. Rosales officially conferred the degrees of 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲-𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐫 (𝟏𝟖𝟒) graduates from the CMSE Campus, as presented by their respective deans. The conferment covered the following academic programs:

Atty. Marco Cicero F. Domingo, CHED IX Regional Director, served as the commencement speaker for the ceremony.

Ms. Kimberly M. Pates, Cum Laude graduate of the BTVTEd-FSM program, delivered the valedictory address. She shared the challenges and triumphs of her academic journey and called on her fellow graduates to carry forward the values they have gained. “To my fellow graduates, this may not have been the road we first imagined, but it is ours now and beautiful. Let us walk it with pride, teach with passion, serve purpose, build with vision, and lead with courage,” she expressed.

A defining feature of this year’s 26th commencement was the immediate distribution of diplomas and official Transcripts of Records (TORs) to all graduates—an unprecedented move in JHCSC’s history. This progressive step aims to equip graduates with the necessary documents to seek employment or further studies without delay.

The ceremony concluded with a heartfelt rendition of the batch song and a finale performance. Filled with gratitude and determination, the Class of 2025 stepped into a new chapter—ready to face the future with knowledge, strength, and purpose.
