For the first time in the history of our school, one of our grade 12 students, Greg Palumbo, placed 6th in all of Ontario at the ICAO (Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario) Accounting Competition.  This is a very difficult competition, and there are normally over 1,000 participants, so this is quite the accomplishment for Greg.  Greg will be recognized at the Institute (downtown Toronto) where he will attend an Awards Ceremony & Luncheon on June 11, 2013.  He will also receive a $100 prize. Congratulations Greg!
