Xavier University High School received a substantial donation of P1.5 million from the
ADC/XUHS Class of ’66 Foundation, Inc to help sharpen the knowledge and teaching skills of the faculty.

The fund will be broken down into three types of awards worth P500,000 each, namely: the Rev Paul D Campbell, SJ Teachers’ Development Fund, the Rev Alberto V Ampil, SJ Teachers’ Development Fund and the Rev Francisco Montecastro, SJ Teachers’ Development Fund.

“We believe that students should have a good foundation,” said ADC/XUHS Class of ’66 Foundation, Inc President Mario Reyes explaining why their batch chose XUHS teachers to be the recipients of the awards.

The fund is intended for instructors teaching natural sciences, physical sciences and mathematics. There will be yearly meetings between XU and the donors to check the progress of the fund.
