In preparation for the school year 2009-2010, Gen. Tiburcio de Leon National High School joined the nationwide “Brigada Eskwela” for the National Schools Maintenance Week Program from May 18 to 22, 2009.

The event kicked off with an assembly of school admi-nistrators, teachers, parents, students, and community members at the school campus.

The activity was a school level improvement project with maximum community members' participation and it's one of the features of the Schools First Initiative (SFI), a government strategy for the improvement of basic education.

Classrooms and the whole school ground were cleaned, broken chairs were repaired and minor decorations were provided by volunteers.

Vera Paola Reyes, the Supreme Student Government President, headed the activity initiated by the Department of Education.
