Last May 17, school community witnessed its fifth MITIS Runway to cap off the celebration of the school’s twelfth year anniversary with the theme, “MITISzens: Living to Learn, Love, and Lead.”
Each class from Grades 7 to 12 sent a pair as its representatives. The candidates showed their style in their promotional photos posted in the school’s social media accounts. During the final night of the competition, student-representatives walked on the red carpet and showcased their take in the different outfit cycles including all-white, pop art, and formal attires. Finally, the contestants answered questions to show their understanding of the school’s core values and Expected Schoolwide Learning Results (ESLRs). Their confidence on the runway and the Question-and-Answer portion were evaluated by a panel of judges composed of representative members of the community and other invited guests.
The following were the winners of the minor awards.
