The TLC with LOVE project, initiated by Master Teacher Mary Ann A. Pacheco, aims to help low-performing Grade 10 learners by fostering collaboration between teachers and high-performing learners, extending education into the community. The project proposal was crafted by Jayremiah C. Gallardo, endorsed by Science Head Teacher Mary Grace V. Vinzon, and approved by Principal Dr. Alma V. Poblete. The project received support from Barangay officials, including Captain Evelyn T. Yuzon and Committee Chair Ma. Luisa R. Panganiban, who facilitated logistics and venue arrangements. The project’s focus is on both academic support for struggling students and enhancing collaboration within the community.
