@zdref91144101 The junior high school only accepts transferees for Grades 8 and 9.

@TeamAMDG Really? I thought that Ateneo only do that for Gr12 level.

Ateneo Girls' Volleyball Team-commit April Bautista of Gracel Christian College Foundation, Inc. will only be in Grade 10 this coming school year. If things go as planned, she is expected to transfer to Ateneo de Manila in 2027 for senior high school. 📸 Coach Watta

@zdref91144101 Ateneo also does not accept Grade 10 transferees.

@TeamAMDG AJHS's Gr10 is still all boys, that's the reason April Bautista did not transfer. H/E, unless she flunks AShape, she is definitely going to ASHS.

Upon the recommendation of the Committee on Standards, I am pleased to announce that Alexandra Janine A Tiambeng (BS Health Sciences, summa cum laude) is the Valedictorian of the Ateneo College Class of 2026. Read the memo: go.ateneo.edu/College2026Val…

*4 will join ASHS. COACH JESS: From Ateneo de Davao University to Ateneo de Manila University. From Blue Knights to Blue Eagles — the journey continues. Proud of this next chapter and excited for what’s ahead. Keep soaring and represent Davao with pride wherever you go!

Wrapping up another memorable year for Ateneo sports, the University celebrated the exceptional work and dedication shown by every Blue Eagle yesterday, May 19, at the 2026 Ateneo Athletes’ Night Awards.
