In a momentous announcement, Clare Browne, the Director of Education, revealed the names of the top three performers in the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) examinations for June 2025. These exceptional students, recognized for their academic excellence, were assessed by the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC).

Leading the pack is Kaylei John-Baptiste from Baptist Academy of Antigua, who achieved remarkable results across 20 subjects, securing 18 Grade I distinctions, alongside one Grade II and one Grade III. Close behind is Kha-lique Harris of Saint Joseph’s Academy, who excelled in 22 subjects, earning 17 Grade I distinctions, four Grade II, and one Grade III.
