Fox Award, the C.S. Froud Award and the Governor General’s Academic Bronze Award. First awarded in 1873, the Governor General’s Academic Award has become one of the most prestigious awards that a student in a Canadian educational institution may receive. Medals are awarded for academic excellence at four levels, one of those being the secondary school level for the student from the graduation class with the highest average in all Grade 11 and 12 courses. With an overall average of over 96 per cent across the most rigorous courses available in the Ontario secondary school curriculum, that was no small feat.
