DOST Secretary Fortunato “Boy” T. de la Peña, chairperson of the PSHS System Board of Trustees, said the number of graduating students is 98.08 percent of the 1,356 Grade 12 students in the 14 campuses of the PSHS System.

"From among the graduates, 49.55 percent are receiving academic honors, 35 or 2.63 percent are awarded with highest honors, their general weighted average (GWA) in six years being between 1.0 -1.20; and 624 or 46.92 percent are receiving with high honors, their GWA being between 1-21-1.50,” de la Peña said during his weekly report on Friday, May 28.

He cited that Robert Nelson Leung of PSHS-Cordillera Administrative Region Campus received the highest GWA at 1.03.

In March, de la Peña commended the outstanding performance of the PSHS students despite the challenges brought by the shift from face-to-face to remote learning.

He said in the first quarter of School Year 2020-2021, 50 percent of the total student population of PSHS made it to the Director’s List or considered as honor students.
