The English Montreal School Board has surpassed its record, set last year, for the highest Success Rate in graduation and qualification among public school boards in the entire province of Quebec, based on a seven year cohort at 92.5 percent.

Nominations closed on Sunday, September 27 for English Montreal School Board elections. Joe Ortona has been acclaimed as chair, as have nine of the 10 available positions for commissioner: the only election will occur in Ward 3 (Westmount/Sud Ouest) between Julien Feldman (Team Ortona) and Irwin Rapoport (Independent)

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, and many schools are creating innovative, fun and safe ways to continue the legacy of the great Canadian. Fundraising takes place online, but the actual physical event is being played out in different and interesting ways at the English Montreal School Board.
