Our Alumnae
Over the last few years, HNMCS has adopted an innovative project-based interdisciplinary learning approach to better prepare students for the 21st century landscape. It’s working. Our entire 2022 graduating class were Ontario Scholars, all earned university acceptance across Canada and the U.S., and collectively, they received over $1.1mil in scholarship offers. At a time when few girls choose to enter the in-demand fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, 54% of these graduates are pursuing STEM programmes in university.
