This is great news and well deserved. But please remember that at the same time as we get this accolade, the ever over-zealous Acting Commissioner Cerf is concerned by the achievement gap in our Middle school and Junior High. He should be reminded of the success we achieve in the High school and he should understand that is, in part, due to the work done at HMS and CHurchill!!
