3 Toronto students graduated with 100 per cent averages, including 1 who completed schooling online

Three high school students are graduating from the Toronto District School Board with perfect marks, including one who completed his schooling online.

Three high school students are graduating from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) with perfect marks, including one who completed his schooling online. The TDSB said these “outstanding” students achieved 100 per cent averages across their top six courses. The school board’s top scholars for the 2025-26 school year are Umayeer Ahsan, from Bloor Collegiate Institute, Munjal Patel, from Martingrove Collegiate Institute, and Joshua Han, who graduated from the Virtual Secondary School.

Speaking to CP24 Breakfast on Thursday morning, Han explained that his classroom was his desk throughout all four years of high school. To be able to graduate with perfect marks in a virtual setting takes immense self-control, discipline, and responsibility, Han said. “I felt that the virtual environment, especially virtual learning, provided me with the flexibility and control over my own study style that really meshed well with how I learn,” Han said.

“I’ve been able to toggle over my commute time, for example, to community involvement.” Instead of having to commute to school, Han says he has been able to use that time to be more involved with his community, as he was a youth leader at his local church. He says he was also elected as student council president more than once.

“I’ve been fortunate to have been elected twice as student council president and, in this capacity, have led more than 40 members to achieve more than 60 initiatives that have built community in such a complex virtual environment,” he said. The high school graduate, who is set to attend the University of Toronto next year, expressed his gratitude to his teachers and shared that his family has been encouraging through his years of education so far “They are always right by me and especially my mom always offers the sort of advice that I need whenever I need it,” Han said.

“They’ve never pressured me actually to reach perfection. I do that to myself enough.” Come the fall, Han says he will be studying in the management co-op program at the university’s Scarborough campus.

His goal is to ultimately become a lawyer. “The Ontario Justice Education Network, they state that 50 per cent of people with legal issues weren’t able to access legal support. I believe that is 50 per cent too many, and I want to do something about that,” Han said.

In the last school year, the TDSB said four students graduated with 100 per cent averages .
