RACQUEL S. MANLAPAS
Assistant Principal
Miss Rax spent her preschool, elementary and secondary education years at the University of Santo Tomas. She attained her Bachelor of Science Degree Major in Psychology from St. Paul College of Quezon City (now St. Paul University Q.C.) where she was awarded the Excellence in Thesis Writing Award.
After graduating from college, she immediately pursued a career in Human Resource Management at the number one construction company of the Philippines in 1995. She was assigned in the Compensation and Benefits Department. Miss Rax's stint in the human resource management for almost a year has given her various trainings in personnel and general management. She then decided to take her Master of Science major in Educational Management Full Time Program at De La Salle University Taft Avenue, Manila in April 1996. It was her aunt, Miss Zenaida C. Santos, who influenced her to jumpstart a career in the academe. Working in a school in Bulacan, her first assignment was to teach in preschool. She taught in grade school for 2 years and in high school levels for 18 years. Eventually, she was trained into Principal-ship after 2 years when the school decided to establish the secondary high school in 1997.
Teaching has become her passion after having taught in all levels of Basic Education Curriculum. During her term as the school principal, her goal has always been focused on being result oriented and shared leadership among her fellow workers and superiors. She helped the school in achieving top scores in the municipal, division and regional examinations and assessments of students.
She helped the school attain recognition and awards for its educational excellence in local and international competitions for best-managed schools and campus journalism. She has set track records in producing graduates of the school (in the Municipality where the school is located) achieve Latin honors from the top universities of the Philippines.
She always keeps this in mind: ”Even if you don’t feel qualified, when you understand you have God's favor, you’ll pursue what God has placed in your heart.” Miss Rax, with her more than two decades of proven track record in leadership and management, will definitely be an asset to the Management Team of HSG, its dynamic team of faculty and its community of learners.
