DSBN, OSSTF Celebrate Excellence in Education
On Thursday, May 14, the District School Board of Niagara and OSSTF District 22 will recognize high school students achieving success both inside and outside the classroom at the annual Excellence in Education Awards ceremony in Niagara Falls.
The Awards honour the students who excel academically, while making outstanding contributions to their school and home communities. The Awards are presented to a graduating student from each of the 22 secondary schools across the DSBN.
“The students recognized at this event have all done an impressive job balancing their academic pursuits with extra-curricular, athletic and social activities,” says John Stainsby, DSBN Superintendent of Secondary Schools. “Congratulations to all our students who demonstrate such commitment to their education, schools and communities.”
“The Excellence in Education celebration is the highlight of the school year for me,” says Daniel Peat, President, OSSTF District 22. “I look forward to being inspired by the dedication and accomplishments of the multi-talented young people who have been chosen to receive this award in each DSBN school. The future is in good hands with these caring, committed young citizens leading the way!”
