Mayor Foster advised that the 19th Annual “Awards for Academic Excellence” program was developed in 2001 to recognize students from Clarington’s local elementary and secondary schools. Mayor Foster indicated that local elementary and secondary schools were asked to submit the name of a graduating student who, in their opinion, has demonstrated academic excellence combined with a commitment to leadership and community service.
Each student will be provided with a personal framed certificate and, as a further commitment to Council’s recognition of local students, secondary students who were being recognized will receive a cheque for $100.00 as a bursary to further their educational pursuits.
