Cultivating Knowledge and Green Thumbs: Caragasan NHS Students Harvest Bountiful Crops under DepEd’s Gulayan sa Paaralan Project

ALFONSO LISTA, IFUGAO— Proving that true learning extends far beyond the four corners of the classroom, students and faculty of Caragasan National High School (CNHS) traded their pens for trowels today, September 28, 2026, as they successfully harvested a fresh bounty of organic vegetables from their school grounds.

The vibrant harvest celebration marks a major milestone for the school’s implementation of the Department of Education’s (DepEd) enduring Gulayan sa Paaralan Project (GPP). The initiative transforms campus patches into productive green spaces, serving as a living laboratory for student-centered agriculture and nutrition education.

Learning by Doing: Theory Meets Practice

True to the DepEd standard of "Learning by Doing", the day’s activity was the culmination of weeks of active student participation. Under the guidance of their agriculture and TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education) teachers, students took charge of the garden’s lifecycle—from soil preparation, seed sowing, and organic fertilizer management to weeding and daily crop monitoring.

The baskets overflowed with lush eggplants, crisp okra, leafy pechay, and mistards, showcasing the rewards of consistent care and scientific application.

"This isn't just about growing vegetables; it’s about growing competent learners," shared one of the supervising teachers. "When students physically measure soil pH, space out plant beds mathematically, and study plant pathology firsthand, textbook theories finally come alive."

Strengthening Agriculture-Related Subjects

The school garden serves as a practical, open-air workshop that directly reinforces lessons in Science, TLE, and Agri-Fishery Arts. Concepts such as plant biology, ecosystem balance, pest management, and sustainable agriculture are no longer abstract ideas found in modules, but real-world challenges that students solve together.

Furthermore, the project instills core values of hard work, patience, environmental stewardship, and self-reliance. By experiencing the direct correlation between labor and harvest, learners gain a profound respect for the agricultural sector and local farming communities.

Sustaining Nutrition and Food Security

True to the core objectives of the Gulayan sa Paaralan Project, a significant portion of today's harvest has been earmarked to directly support the school’s feeding programs, ensuring that students benefit from fresh, nutrient-rich meals that boost both physical health and cognitive performance in class. Surplus produce is also shared to promote community engagement and healthy home-gardening practices.

As the morning sun settled over Caragasan NHS, dirt-smudged faces beamed with pride. Today's successful harvest stands as a testament to the fact that when education is rooted in practical application, students reap what they sow—both literally and figuratively.

CARAGASAN NHS UNVEILS NEW SCIENCE LABORATORY TO EMPOWER FUTURE-READY LEARNERS

ALFONSO LISTA, IFUGAO
September 17, 2026 — In a major boost to regional STEM education, Caragasan National High School (CNHS) officially launched its newly equipped Science Laboratory today, aligning with the nationwide celebration of Science and Mathematics Month 2026.

The initiative was spearheaded by School Head Mr. Noah C. Ittangon, together with Ms. Nora Rizza G. Mateo and the school’s dedicated Science teaching faculty. Driven by the shared vision of "Pursuing Innovations and Excellence of Services for Future-Ready Learners," the upgraded facility aims to transform abstract classroom lessons into active, hands-on scientific discovery.

The upgraded laboratory features modern storage solutions and comprehensive visual and experimental apparatuses designed to enhance interactive learning across biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science:

Interactive Visual Aids: Comprehensive biological cell replicas, human anatomical models, and celestial globes to provide tangible learning for biology and astronomy lessons.

Hands-on Experimental Tools: Fully organized glass-sliding display cabinets housing specialized lab glassware, measurement tools, and physics apparatuses.

Inspirational Environment: A refurbished layout anchored by the inspiring scientific reflection, "The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together," reminding students of the interconnected nature of science.

According to the school administration, the setup of this laboratory directly responds to the growing demand for interactive, inquiry-based learning in high school curricula. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experimentation, CNHS ensures its students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills necessary for higher education and modern careers.
