The Estevan Comprehensive School held its annual awards night on May 30 at the school’s cafetorium.
Scholarships and bursaries were handed out, largely to Grade 12 students. Those scholarships were mostly sponsored by local businesses, organizations, individuals and estates. They recognized students for success in academics, athletics and skilled trades.
Academic awards were presented to those who have thrived in the classroom in a variety of subjects. The school also presented recognitions to the top 10 honour roll students in Grades 10, 11 and 12, and the top student from each of those grades.
Dann Pangan was tops in Grade 10, Madison Zandee had the best marks in Grade 11 and Mackenzie Holman was tops in Grade 12, meaning she will be this year’s valedictorian for the graduation ceremony on June 15.
The participation awards recognized students for their contributions to extra-curricular activities, clubs, organizations and more.
The Mr. and Miss ECS Awards were handed out for each grade at the end of the awards night. Miss ECS Awards went to Rachelle Stephany (Grade 9), Angelle Avery (Grade 10), Ciara Dayman (Grade 11) and Tatiana Dutka (Grade 12).
Mr. ECS Awards went to Curtis Phillipchuk (Grade 9), Jacob Wade (Grade 10), Levi Stepp (Grade 11) and Carter Davenport (Grade 12).
Principal Pat Jeannot applauded the students for their efforts.
“As we celebrate excellence, commitment and success, we look forward to evenings like this, evenings that we set aside as special, where we focus on a very important aspect of the students’ school career, that being the acknowledgement of academic achievement,” said Jeannot.
The students have earned the recognitions for their hard work, he said.
Jeannot also lauded parents for their support and staff members for the many hours of work they contribute, and he thanked the community for their contributions to scholarships and awards.
