The Paranaque City government lauded the students of the city’s science high school, Parañaque Science High School (ParSci), for their achievements during its 8th commencement exercises  held at Sequoia Hotel Manila Bay.

ParSci is headed by Ma. Rhodora Espino, Ed.D., who is known to many, including the Department of Education community in the city, as a dedicated educator and school head.
