Hartford Magnet Trinity College Academy (HMTCA) is proud to congratulate the winners of its first annual Core Values writing competition, an event that invited students to put into words the beliefs that guide our school community.
The competition was created by senior Liliana Pisano as part of her Senior Capstone project, with the goal of encouraging reflection, creativity, and literacy among her fellow students. Participants wrote about HMTCA’s five core values:
Honorable in our Actions
Mindful of Diversity
Thoughtful Towards Others
Creative in our Expression
Ambitious in our Scholarly Endeavors
Students shared thoughtful and personal perspectives on what these values mean to them and how they see them in action at HMTCA.
We are pleased to recognize the first place winners, who were honored with certificates of achievement:
8th Grade: Eliana Rios-Segui
9th Grade: Ifeoluwalere Emokpaire
10th Grade: Angel Hernandez
Congratulations to all three winners on their outstanding writing, and thank you to every student who took part. A special thank you to Liliana for her initiative and leadership in creating a competition that celebrates our school’s values and the power of the written word. We hope this is the first of many annual competitions to come.
Go Phoenix! 🔥
