YCDSB is recognizing 19 graduating students who earned the highest average in their schools. Two Grade 12 students averaged 100 per cent and six more averaged 99 per cent.

Rohan Kumar and Jashvir Rathore, both from Father Michael McGivney Catholic High School in Markham, graduated with perfect averages. Kumar is entering a five-year medicine program at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, Ireland and Rathore will be studying computer science at University of Toronto.

I know all these exceptional students are driven to make this world a better place and we are excited to see what they will do next.”
