The President of the Association, Dr. Anne Medinus Benibo said “The organization provides these awards in fulfillment of its third objective, which is to provide opportunities for alumni to remain connected and to serve the school. In fulfillment of the Association’s Cardinal Project number 1, scholarships were awarded to two Indigent students to enable them to stay in school and towards the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 1: End Extreme Poverty. To empower the future generation of girls and motivate them to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, two monetary awards were also given to students who excelled in all areas. This is also in fulfillment of the Association’s Cardinal Project 3 and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 5: Gender Equality. We cherish our experiences at GGSS, a public school which evolved into MGHS, a private parochial school.”
