Beyond reminiscing about their alma mater's rich history, the batch also extended their generosity by giving a cash donation to support the continuous improvement and preservation of the museum.
Thank you, Batch 1975, for your unwavering love and support for LNHS!

A meaningful visit to the LNHS Tawid Museum!

Luna National High School had the honor of welcoming the descendants of our esteemed Founder, Timoteo Sta. Santarromana, including his children and grandchildren. It was a heartfelt and memorable moment as the family revisited the very school their forefather established and witnessed the memories preserved within the Tawid Museum.

Thank you so much for visiting! It was truly an honor for LNHS to once again welcome the family of the man who started it all.

Luna National High School's TAWID MUSEO - Treasures And Wisdom: Ilocano Documentation, headed by Dr. Jovita Y. Lopez, School Principal IV, and Mrs. Olive D. Rilloraza, Head Teacher III of Araling Panlipunan and Museum Coordinator of Luna I Cluster, has been officially recognized as part of Project PAMaNA (Preserving Ancestral Memories and Narratives for All) in the Search for Functional School Museums 2025, from October 22-23, 2025. The name TAWID, an Ilocano word meaning "heritage" or "inheritance," reflects the museum's mission of preserving knowledge passed down through generations.

Project PAMaNA, under the leadership of Dr. Mario B. Paneda, Education Program Supervisor for Araling Panlipunan, aims to strengthen historical awareness and appreciation for Filipino heritage among students by transforming school museums into dynamic learning spaces where history comes alive for the younger generation.
The initiative has gained significant momentum through a multi-agency partnership involving the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) in La Union, the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP) Region I, the Department of Education (DepEd) in Ilocos Norte, and the Provincial Government of La Union.

This collaborative effort highlights a unified dedication to preserving cultural heritage while extending educational opportunities beyond traditional classroom settings. By bringing together government agencies and educational institutions, Project PAMaNA demonstrates how cultural preservation can be integrated into the everyday learning experience of Filipino students, as reflected in TAWID MUSEO.
