City high deemed as one of Baguio’s Builders
City high has once again become part of Baguio’s history when it was recognized as one of the institutions considered to be Baguio’s builders. The awarding ceremony was held last November 14, 2009 at the University of Baguio gym. The award was received by Dr. Elma D. Donaal, the school principal.
The Baguio City National High School was considered to be one of Baguio’s builders mainly because it was one of the first high schools in the Cordillera to be established. It is also known for providing quality education therefore producing successful alumni and many achievers especially in the field of sports and arts. “Like they say, City High is known locally, nationally and internationally”, said Dr. Donaal when asked in an interview regarding the award. “I felt like I was on cloud nine. I was proud”, she added.
Other recipients of the Baguio builders award were other educational institutions, pioneer restaurants, book stores, major industries, rescue groups, public utilities, media, hospitals, clubs and organizations and families, among others. As a tribute to the said contributors of Baguio, aside from receiving a trophy and a medal, their names will be etched in the centennial wall.

===================
Incidentally it was only recently that I have viewed the Baguio Centennial site and much to my surprise I found my father’s name as No. 28 in the 70 families named as Baguio Builders. The selection was based on a committee, nominations from the public, and research work by local universities. It is with pride that I belong as a member of the family category of Baguio Builders as well as the institution category, City High.
