Eleven Rocky View Schools’ students were congratulated for getting 100 per cent on their 2010 diploma exams at the Rocky View Schools Education Centre, June 17.
“One hundred percent is a fabulous accomplishment that should be celebrated,” said Board Chair Sylvia Eggerer.
“This is great! I am glad we have so many 100 per cents from so many schools. It speaks to the staff we have and the quality of students.”
George McDougall student Marrissa Jones scored 100 per cent on her Math 30 diploma. Jones plans to go to the Alberta College of Art and Design for post secondary and she said math has not always been her best subject.
“I used to hate math,” she said.
“Having a teacher that understands how you learn really helps. (Brian DeGiueseppe) really knows what he is talking about.”

“Thank you to my parents. I am here today because of their hard work and what they taught me over the years,” he said.
