History
In 1947, a school named Leodegario Victorino Memorial High School was estabished to give a jump start to education in the town of Marikina after the war. It was renamed Marikina School of Arts and Trades (MSAT) in 1957 and Marikina Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) in 1978. In 2001, Marikina Science High School(MSHS) broke from Marikina Institute of Science and Technology. By the power of R.A. 9289, MIST's college sector was renamed as Marikina Polytechnic College (MPC). [1]
Admission
Students who are bonafide residents of Marikina City can take the entrance examination of the school. [2] The entrance test results and the interview reults will determine if the student is eligible for admission. Those who will pass the examination and the interview which tests the applicants ability in reading comprehension are eligible for admission in the school.
Curriculum
The school uses the weighted mean system in assessment of a student's academic performance. A unit value of 1.5 is given to the major subjects (Math, Science and English). A unit value of 1 is given to the minor subjects. A 0.5 unit is given to Foreign language. A zero unit is given to HRO and Religious Instruction. This system was adopted in order to put emphasis and importance to the fields of study being focused on a specific year level. [3]
