The days of interrupted lessons and “light out” are officially a thing of the past. St. John’s Old Boys Association (SJOBA) has officially handed over a state-of-the-art solar energy system to their alma mater. We didn’t just bring “light”, we brought a powerhouse.

It is more than just hardware; it is an investment in the next generation of leaders, scientists, and creatives who will walk these halls. This isn’t just a donation, it is a gift of uninterrupted learning and modernization. To the 1982 set who made this possible, we say a very big thank you. UT DILIGATIS INVICEM.
