Academic Achievers

School publications commonly show a heavy emphasis on sports. We see fewer details about academics. This varies from school to school. Perhaps academics is more difficult to report. Perhaps because most sports are team sports and many students are interested in sports that so much attention is given to it.

The publications do provide interesting information on the academic achievements of the students.
