Outstanding graduation results from two Minority High Schools in Western Thrace
Students from two minority high schools in Western Thrace have delivered an inspiring performance at the end of the 2024–2025 academic year, with a total of 12 graduates earning top honors from the Celal Bayar Minority High School in Komotini and the Xanthi Minority High School.
Three students—two from Komotini and one from Xanthi—graduated with a perfect GPA of 20, showcasing the academic excellence within the region’s minority education system.
Celal Bayar Minority High School – Komotini
Six students graduated with distinction this year:
Top Honors (20/20): Kübra Kara Yusuf (Seymen) and Kübra Softa (Evrenköy)
Second Place (19.9/20): Emine Mehmet (Bulatköy)
Third Place (19.8/20): Alanur Kadir Hasan (Kalfa), Sevde Lafit (Baraklı), and Deniz Habib (Komotini)
Another six students from Xanthi stood out with top scores:
Top Honors (20/20): Nergiz Dahil (Koyunköy)
Second Place (19.5/20): Elif İsmailoğlu (Kırköy) and Rukiye Surçoğlu (Ilıca)
Third Place (19.3/20): Enes Karadayı (Xanthi), Duygu Sefer (Şahin), and Müyesser İmam (Misvaklı)
Female Students Lead the Way
Notably, the majority of high-performing graduates from both schools were female. In Xanthi, only one of the six top graduates was male, while all six distinguished students from Komotini were girls.
A Legacy of Education: Three Generations Graduate from the Same Schools
In Xanthi, Nergiz Dahil, who graduated top of her class with a perfect score, shares this honor with her twin sister Güliz Dahil. They represent the third generation in their family to graduate from the same school—following their parents Feyzullah Dahil and Hümeyra Mustafaoğlu, as well as their grandfather Halil Mustafaoğlu, one of the school’s first graduates.
Similarly, in Komotini, Deniz Habib, who ranked third with a score of 19.8, continued her family’s educational tradition. She follows in the footsteps of her grandfather Nihat Tevfikoğlu and mother Zeynep Tevfikoğlu, both alumni of Celal Bayar Minority High School.
