Southville International School and Colleges successfully hosted the Annual CEO Forum 2026 on May 13 at Lux Hall, bringing together Senior High School students for an inspiring afternoon of leadership, learning, and real-world perspectives. The event served as a valuable platform for students to engage with accomplished alumni who once walked the same halls and sat in the same classrooms, demonstrating the lasting impact of a Southville education.

This year’s forum featured distinguished alumni Mr. Diego Galan and Mr. Jose Angelo Zulueta, who shared their personal journeys from student life to professional success. Through candid stories and reflections, the speakers discussed the challenges they encountered, the opportunities they embraced, and the values that guided them throughout their careers. Their experiences provided students with meaningful insights into leadership, decision-making, and personal growth in an ever-changing world.

More than a discussion of career achievements, the forum highlighted the importance of perseverance, purpose, and a commitment to excellence. The speakers emphasized that leadership is not defined solely by titles or accomplishments but by the ability to remain resilient, continue learning, and positively influence others. Their messages encouraged students to pursue their goals with confidence while staying grounded in their values and principles.

The Annual CEO Forum reflects Southville’s commitment to providing transformative learning experiences that bridge classroom education with real-world application. By connecting students with successful alumni, the school fosters a culture of mentorship, lifelong learning, and community engagement that prepares young leaders for future success.

Southville extends its sincere gratitude to Mr. Diego Galan and Mr. Jose Angelo Zulueta for generously sharing their time, wisdom, and experiences. Their willingness to give back to the community that helped shape their journeys serves as an inspiration to the next generation of Southville leaders. Through events such as the Annual CEO Forum, Southville continues to nurture students who are prepared to lead with purpose, integrity, and excellence.
