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

This year, we recognized and celebrated students at our 36th Annual Student Awards of Excellence Ceremony on Monday, April 22, 2024.

The ceremony took place at Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School in Oakville. His Excellency, Most Reverend Douglas Crosby, OMI, Bishop of Hamilton offered prayers and blessings; and musical entertainment was provided by the Our Lady of Peace Catholic Elementary School Choir, under the direction of Linda Chong, accompanied by Steve Curto.
