In a news release posted to their website today, the D8 Athletic Association released the listing of all student athletes that have been named as "academic all-stars" for the 2011-12 school year.
As per the release, "four hundred and eighty nine student-athletes were
acknowledged across the Waterloo Region at Athletic Awards Banquets in June as
the District 8 Athletic Association unveiled its new Academic All-Star awards. In
addition, 34 students claimed Academic Elite status for earning top grades
within their respective secondary school."
To be acknowledged as an Academic All-Star, athletes had to maintain an 85% academic average while participating in inter-school athletics.

I've listed the individual recipients who were listed as playing on their school's basketball team below. As far as teams are concerned, the Rockway Flames dominated in the junior girls' category, with 9 of their team members receiving academic recognition. The private school also tied for first in the junior boys' category, with 7 recipients, which tied them alongside another private school, Woodland.
Resurrection CSS captured at least a share of having the most senior girls' and boys' academic all-stars. The Phoenix had 7 senior girls' on the squad, while their senior boys' team had 4, which equalled the number from Rockway.
Congratulations to all recipients!
