BACOLOD City – The Negros Occidental High School (NOHS) in Bacolod City unveiled their new signage on Friday through the support of Batch 1985.

The unveiling rites was led by batch president Noel Iligan, NOHS principal IV Mario Amaca, and Bacolod Lone District Representative Greg Gasataya held at the schools ground yesterday morning.

Iligan said they came up with the idea after they saw the old signage with incomplete letters.

We prepared it for about a year. It was materialized through the support of our batchmates, Iligan said.

Amaca expressed gratitude to the batch for initiating the project for their Alma Mater.

It will stay forever, Amaca said, adding that the new signage is made of stainless steel.

Their plan is to also make the schools entrance, elegant by using granite, Amaca said.

Gasataya said he is happy with the action of the batch for their Alma Mater.

I salute Batch 85 for doing the exemplary work and for continuously helping the institution, he added.
