 ISNHS has been celebrating its high school day since 1902, which has been jam-packed with enjoyable events and programs. As the day goes on, it is the day that is enjoyed by the professors, students, and visitors. It hosts occasions including palaro, talent shows, award ceremonies, and speeches. Due to the pandemic, ISNHS's high school day was postponed in 2019. The students may be seen rehearsing their original acts for the high school day celebration on the field every day from the morning till the afternoon. Everything was set up, but then it was abruptly cancelled. Though, guess what?

Ilocos Sur National High School was finally able to commemorate its 121st high school day on March 25, 2023, with the theme "Renewed Commitment in Defying Odds to Transcend Heights of Excellence and Solidarity." The occasion was joyful and happy as the program progressed, after nearly three years of waiting. The day began with a solemn mass, where students and faculty members gathered to give thanks for the blessings of the past school year. The mass was a moment of reflection and contemplation, as we looked back on the challenges and accomplishments of the school year. It was also a moment of prayer and gratitude, as we gave thanks for the guidance and support that we received from God and our teachers. After the mass, the event moved on to the awarding ceremony. The awarding ceremony was a moment of recognition for the retirees, teachings, and non-teachings staffs. It was a proud moment for the awardees, as they received recognition for their hard work and dedication. 

The festival dances were also a highlight of the event. The Grade 9 students showcased their talent and creativity through their colorful and energetic festival dances. The Grade 10 students, on the other hand, wowed the audience with their impressive hip-hop performance. 

My favorite part of a high school day is when we perform our exquisitely dance piece. Our day was complete when we heard the raucous applause. The fact that the finish was seamless, in my opinion, is what matters most. . This experience will always be a treasured and everlasting memory for me.
