University High School won as the overall champion in this year’s University Day Celebration after garnering 694 points ending the one year reign of the College of Business and Accountancy (CBA). CBA fell short with 87 points followed by the College of Engineering (CoE) in the third spot with 468 total points, allowing the College of Nursing (400) to go after with a difference of 68 points. The College of Computer Studies (CCS) completed the top five with 332 points. High School reclaimed the glory as the U-Day champion after 14 years, leaving the College of Business and Accountancy and the College of Nursing, both were former champions, challenged to get back on the claimed post. When HS Senior Provincial Board Member Jan Christian Española was asked what made them win, he stressed, “The efforts of the Provincial Board under the leadership of Ms. Jothamme Enriquez and the support of the teachers and staff most especially our principal, Dr. Felnor Importante, made us the over-all champion of the University Day 2011.” In the Literary-Musical and Special Events categories, High School accumulated a total of 382 points in winning first place in Acapella Quartet (Male),
