ARDENNE High School, the prominent St Andrew co-educational institution, is today basking in the glory of being pronounced the Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) School of the Year for 2013 in the region, and also for producing the top Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) CAPE student this year — Dea Thomas.

"We got a call this morning from Barbados, CXC's head office, indicating that Dea Thomas, as the top CXC CAPE student for Jamaica, is also the top one for the region," an elated Nadine Molloy, principal of Ardenne, told the Jamaica Observer yesterday. Molloy said that subsequent to the call she received a letter indicating that Ardenne, by having the most outstanding candidate overall, becomes the CAPE School of the Year. "So of course Ardenne is quite excited, because Ardenne is indeed the CAPE School of the Year for 2013 in the region," she said.
"The award will be presented in December in Guyana and both Dea and myself — I'm not sure if one of her parents will be invited to attend — will be in attendance. I will make remarks and Dea will give the vote of thanks at that ceremony," Molloy explained. The Math and Science student, who hopes to pursue a career in medical research was, by some weird stroke of faith, able to hear the good news from the CXC herself yesterday.
