36 years, countless students, and a legacy that won’t fade.

Mrs. Arlene Arcellana is closing her gradebook one last time.

From her early years at Pasay City South High School to leading the Science Department at Pasay City National Science High School, she didn’t just teach—she shaped futures.

Today, March 6, her colleagues came together to celebrate her journey—one filled with lessons, laughter, and the kind of impact that textbooks could never capture.

Tomorrow marks her last day, but her influence will echo in every student who ever saw the magic in science because of her.

Enjoy your well-deserved rest, Ma’am Arcellana. The experiment of life now calls for a new adventure!
