Special appreciation is extended to moderator Mrs. Moeller for her guidance, encouragement, and unwavering commitment to supporting the students throughout their journey. Gratitude is also shared with the dedicated parent volunteers who generously gave their time and support to help make the experience possible.
This accomplishment reflects the encouragement and support of the entire Holy Family community. The team also extends heartfelt thanks to the students, faculty, staff, and Fr. Ricky for their continued support and prayers.
As the Acadeca Knights celebrate this achievement, the community prays that God will continue to bless their efforts, guide their studies, and inspire them to keep striving for wisdom and excellence in all that they do.
