TORONTO -- Years after ditching class for "Degrassi," Toronto rapper Drake says he's finally finished high school.
The actor-turned-rapper, who turns 26 next week, tweeted Wednesday that he had met all the requirements to secure his diploma.
He originally dropped out to pursue a role on the drama "Degrassi: The Next Generation."
He ultimately figured into well over 100 episodes of the popular teen soap from 2001-08.
In announcing the news, Drake thanked teacher Kim Janzen for working "tirelessly" with him the past five months as he wrapped up his high-school education.
"97 per cent on my final exam. 88 per cent in the course," he wrote. "One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!"
