School Admins, Faculty, and Benefactors started the construction of new comfort rooms and wash facilities in Lagro High School, during the pandemic.

The said project was created because of the primary issues about the Learner-Toilet Ratio of the school and it was sponsored by private companies through funds and donations.

According to LHS Mathematics Head Teacher, Nora Villalobos, new wash areas were placed in front of the Vargas building, the guidance office, and beside the court.

“Nagdagdag po si sir (Principal Dr. Diego Amid) sa harap ng Vargas (building), tapos dinagdagan po niya iyong nasa tapat ng guidance office, ‘saka may wash area na rin po sa gilid ng court, sa harap ng TVL (building).” said Villalobos.

According to LHS Grade 10 student Karylle Cajanding, “Magandang balita iyon kasi kung iisipin hindi talaga enough yung tig- isang washroom ng boys and girls sa number ng students ng buong school. Based din sa ibang friends and other classmates ko, hirap silang makaihi nung face-to-face classes pa kasi sobrang daming students din ang naghihintay sa CR, since laging overloaded yung CR nahihirapan din itong mamaintain ng maayos."

She also stated that the construction of these new comfort rooms and wash facilities would be really beneficial, not only for students but also to all of the teaching and non-teaching personnel in Lagro High School.

"Sobrang importante talaga magkaroon ng mas maraming access sa proper sanitation facilities since 'di lang naman students nag C-CR, pati rin yung ibang teachers and staffs sa school. Also, para narin maiwasan yung mga hygiene-related diseases na cina-cause ng mga bacteria and fungi from restrooms na pwedeng makaapekto sa mga tao sa school." she added.
