School year 2011-2012 has been another fruitful year for Malayan High School of Science (MHSS), and this was due to the students who have showcased the true strengths of Malayans, most especially in academics. So to give the school year a proper closing, MHSS honored its hardworking and dedicated students during its 3rd Recognition Rites last March 30.
With the theme “Nurturing Scholars and Future Leaders Through Excellence in Science, Technology, and Arts,” MHSS awarded certificates of recognition to 38 students from first year to third year for academic excellence. For principal Dr. Efren B. Mateo, it was only fitting to recognize these students, as academic excellence is always attained through mental ability coupled with the right attitude toward learning.
“Other than mental ability, students must have the proper study habits in order to excel academically. Students who perform well in their academics are the ones who study hard and persevere, and possess that self-propelling drive to excel.”
Apart from the academic excellence awardees, the school also honored six Malayans who have displayed outstanding leadership skills and who have served as great role models to their fellow students. Amid the progressing and constantly evolving society and rapid advances in technology, Dr. Mateo stresses that moral development of MHSS students has remained a top priority of the school. It doesn’t only aim to hone future scientists and technologists but also to develop the future builders and leaders of the nation.
“We are always after the holistic growth of our students. We are not only focused on their mental development, but more importantly on their moral development. We want them to live up to the core values of MHSS and not to compromise goodness no matter what the cost is.”
Below is the full list of Academic Excellence, Leadership, and Model Student awardees of MHSS for S.Y. 2011-2012.
