The Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board has released the names of its top scholars for the school year.

An Ontario Scholar is a student who has scored an 80 per cent or higher on their top six Grade 12 courses. Across the board, 3,524 students in 2017-18 graduated as Ontario Scholars.

The students with the highest averages in Mississauga were Kyle Tam and Andi Gu. In Brampton, it was John Quinto and; in the Bolton/Caledon/Orangeville area, it was Victoria Tucci.

This past June, both Tam and Gu scored a nearly perfect average of 99.17 per cent. Tam graduated from Loyola Catholic Secondary School and, in the fall, will attend the University of Waterloo for mechatronics engineering. Gu graduated from St. Francis Xavier Secondary School and will go south of the border to the University of California, Berkeley for computer science.
