Each year, the 91proÊÓÆµ (HCDSB) celebrates exceptional students across our school district at the Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony.

This year, we recognized students at our 38th Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony held on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at Christ the King Catholic Secondary School in Georgetown.

Father Wilson Andrade, Pastor of St. Raphael Parish, offered prayers and blessings. Musical entertainment was provided by the Christ the King Catholic Secondary School Concert Band, under the direction of Sue File, and the Rock Band, under the direction of Mark Floyd.

Congratulations to all recipients of the Student Awards of Excellence, the Spirit of Inclusion Award and the Award of Excellence for Multilingual Learners!
