The Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) saluted the achievements of its students Wednesday night during the school’s annual academic awards night.
Local businesses and organizations presented scholarships and bursaries to Grade 12 students for academic achievement, commitment to the school and involvement in the community.
Many academic awards were presented during the evening, with each department in the school recognizing high achievers.
Many of the extracurricular clubs also presented their awards.
In his opening remarks, principal Pat Jeannot commended the students for their hard work to earn an invitation to the ceremony, and he congratulated parents and caregivers for instilling great attributes in their children.
New for this year were the principal’s distinction awards. Traditionally the school has handed out awards to the top 10 academic students from Grades 10-12. They still did that this year, but they also recognized every student who averaged at least 90 per cent in their grades.
