A new landmark has been turning heads for San Andres Vocational School (SAVS). It has attracted both the young and the old, the prominent and the obscure, those from near and afar. In fact, even before its completion many have already had it for their selfies and groufies.

Nestled between Grade 7 buildings, its was positioned to be markedly visible upon entry to the main gate and even from the outside.

It boldly yet plainly spells SAVS, which has become very symbolic for all SAVSians.

For its faculty and staff, it is an icon of achievement and championing the cause of education, that is to mold the youth; of rising up to the challenges and being resilient to many burdens besetting schools and educators.

For the community, it is a beacon of cooperation, of participation, of involvement, and unity towards the common goal of sealing the bright future for San Andres by educating its youth.

For the alumni, it embodies their pride for the institution, a solid reminder of their pledge of loyalty to the Alma Mater, to uphold its noble ideals and be contributors to its transformation and progress.

For the students, it symbolizes their burning hope of a better future, one that is forged on the anvil of this institution, laying the foundation from which they can build their lives upon.
