Mrs. Grego, Didi Shirley C. – the mother of high school journalism and creator of the GSISVHS-IMSHS school publication, “The Village Bounty”. In 1971, Mrs. Grego baptized  the school organ with a name based from the old school’s location on Grants Street that was also symbolic of the term  “bounty” meaning gift or grant. The GSISVHS was a bounty to the humble villagers and denizens from surrounding areas. She dedicated her life to teaching the “Filipino youth” in the former GSISVHS until her retirement from the service in 2008 at the IMSHS. Like Mrs. Braņa, she is the longest serving pioneer mentor in the institution. She passed away on 1 May 2009.
