The Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand is a track in the K-12 curriculum designed for students who intend to take up journalism, communication arts, liberal arts, education, and other social sciences. The HUMSS strand is heavily centered on research and will require students to read, write, and present multiple papers throughout senior high school. Students under this strand will be exposed to eye-opening subjects such as world religions, Philippine and world literature, political and community development specialization subjects, and more. Graduates of the HUMSS strand can have successful careers as journalists, lawyers, teachers, politicians, writers, and psychologists. The HUMSS strand also focuses on developing students oral communication, media and information, and reading and writing skills to a professional level. The HUMSS strand equips students with additional benefits, including instilling values of empathy and understanding, which are essential traits for establishing the rapport required to pursue a successful career in professions available to HUMSS strand graduates.
