- I - Instructional Team - a set of teachers who are selected to be instructional managers of students with special cases. Classes will be scheduled opposite their regular load. They will also be given credit for their service.
- C - Care Team - this team will provide foster care to students who seek guidance and nurturance from parents and/or guardians. This team will be composed of volunteer teachers.
- S - Spiritual Values and Formation - a mandatory membership to any affiliated school organization. Attend regular Spiritual and Values formation activities and mandatory participation in community service.

RATIONALE
Learners of this generation are currently challenged with so many issues and concerns in more than one aspect of their life. Such problems derive from familiy, the individual, community and school. They tend to be dependent on the choices that would make things easy for them to achieve. For instance, choosing to wort to augment family income and staying in the streets all day to find enjoyment with peers rather than going to school.
As stated from the mission of RMCHS which is to provide learners to excellent basic education and life-long learning through a technologically-driven, value-laden and fully-engaged instruction. It is our school's commitment to produce learners that are functionally literate.
This principle reinforces RMCHS RMCHS family to determinedly creating and planning interventions that would address the worsening problems of our learners regarding education.
In line with this, the Hatid Kinabukasan Program will contribute to the Drop-out Reduction Program of the Department of Education which aims to increase participation and completion rate.
