ESPERANZA NATIONAL
HIGH SCHOOL
Esperanza, Agusan del Sur
CARAGA (Region 13)
Pollution Prevention Program
The school protects its environment by
means of air pollution reduction and
the anti-smoke belching vehicles,
advocating the students not to take
hard drinks because when alcohol
coalesces with high levels of carbon
monoxide caused by toxicair pollutants
or smoking, it will impinge on
judgement more than normal. Pupils
are urged to eat a well-balanced meal
for good nutrition helps their body
better handle poisonous substances.
Energy Conservation Program
All classrooms and offices use
compact fluorescent lamp instead of
the incandescent lamp. Turning on of
lights only when necessary and turning
off after use is directed. Classroom
advisers and offices in-charge shall
double check lights, fans and other
facilities before going home in the
afternoon. Unused machines are
unplugged when not in use. Students
are not allowed to charge their cellular
phones in the school.

Act of 2000, through Municipal Ordinance No. 049, Esperanza
National High School gave its strong support in sustaining
eco-friendly programmes of the municipality through
implementation of environmental protection and
management strategies.
The Science Department with the Science Club Officers
conceptualized Science Club Restore, Reuse, Recycle Activity
Project or known as (SCR3 AP’Em UP) in School Year
2009-2010 with its Board Resolution No. 01 as an Income
Generating Project.
The project aims to encourage every student on the
importance of cleanliness and waste segregation starting in
their respective homes. Reusable materials are sold and in
return would be used to create enhancement classes to
students who performed low in science subject. This is also
of great help to support students’ investigatory projects and
help out to sustain the health program in school.
Every grading period, students are required to collect
recyclable trash that will earn a limit of ten pesos (PhP10.00)
only. The total amount earned will be deposited at the bank.
Withdrawal should not go beyond the identified allocated
budget.
