In spite of the economic condition in Barangay Bucalan, parents remain supportive and cooperative to school programs and activities. Attendance to school meetings is very high. Participation in voluntary services especially during Brigada Eskuwela and Dagyaw is also high. Pupils are also very participative and very industrious. Many pupils come from very far communities but the distance did not hinder them from coming to school, in fact, it serves as an inspiration to them waking up very early to walk the exciting terrain they loved to travel by foot. This condition made them very punctual in school arriving before 7:00 in the morning. The long walk has made them very healthy, producing athletes who made to division and regional levels. They made it possible for the school to have garden of flowers and vegetables.
