Greatest Accomplishments

Do you still keep in touch with Metro Prep classmates?

Yes, all the time. Whether it be watching football, going for lunch or hanging out on weekends. I am still very close with many of my Metro classmates.

How has your time at Metro Prep impacted or influenced your life?

The teachers at Metro Prep have inspired and motivated me to pursue a path in science. Specifically, my interest in science was sparked during fetal pig/rat dissection day in grade 11 biology class at Metro. I found that lesson to be so fascinating that I stayed after class and had a one on one discussion with the teacher. Aside from academics, Metro has made me a more outgoing and well-rounded person.

Favourite memories, experiences, and/or lessons from your time at Metro Prep?

Winning the Cleveland hockey tournament in grade 12 is definitely up there among my favourite memories at Metro.
