Maureen Routhier, Mathematics Department Head at Parkside Collegiate Institute, was the recipient of the prestigious Descartes Medal this summer at the University of Waterloo.  Receipt of this award means that Maureen has been recognized by the René Descartes Society as someone who has not only “established a record of excellence in teaching”, but who has “made major contributions in mathematics beyond the classroom”.  Maureen now has the honour of being a life-long member of the Descartes Society.

 PCI staff are all incredibly proud of Maureen and her achievement.  Dianne Thomson, principal of PCI, wrote it best:  “Maureen …is convinced that all students can learn Math and expects the same conviction from…all of her students.  And she gets it….  But the secret behind all of this is is that not only is she a great mathematician, she is a gifted teacher.”

Congratulations, Maureen!
