ADNU 86th Foundation Anniversary

Today, we mark the day 86 years ago when the Ateneo de Naga opened as a high school for boys. Through the years, the academic community grew to include the college, graduate school, grade school, senior high school, and law school. There have been many ups and downs, challenges and setbacks, but with visionary leaders and a resilient community, we not only survived but became a university in 1999.

A Thanksgiving Mass will be offered today at 7:30 a.m. at the Junior High School, followed by the blessing of the St. Carlo Acutis Center and the Fr. James Reuter, SJ, Mini-Theater, facilities that contribute to the holistic Jesuit formation of learners in our oldest academic unit.

As we mark this anniversary, we are also mindful of the ADNU2030 strategic plan, which is now in the implementation stage. We are all enjoined to work with focus and dedication to achieve greater heights of excellence in our educational mission.

Primum Regnum Dei!
