BAKUN, Benguet -- For winning the “clean and green” contest for three successive years, Ampusongan National High School of Bakun has another reason to celebrate after the Benguet provincial government province declared this school a hall of famer  in time with the celebration of Adivay Festival.

Since 2012 ANHS was first place in clean and green contest, which is spearheaded by the province of Benguet as part of Adivay celebration every November.

“Because Ampusongan NHS is hall of fame holder, it will not be included in the contest next year,” said Alfonso C. Doriano, president of National Association of Public Secondary School Heads, Inc. (NAPSSHI)-Benguet Chapter.

Meanwhile, ANHS school principal Georgina Ducayso expressed her elation over the award accorded to her school as she acknowledged the solid support of all the school stakeholders.

Marcelo Otinguey, Fidel Aguindang, and Jeana Angluben, who are coordinators of Clean and Green program in ANHS, are thankful for the help extended by the HedCor, Inc., LGU of Bakun, and the active participation of other NGOs.

For this year’s result of the said contest, ANHS left the second place to Binga National High School in Itogon, while Lepanto National High School in Mankayan seized the third place.
