Recognizing Outstanding Students

Many proud staff members, parents, and sponsors watched students at St. Mary’s Catholic High School’s Awards Night accept their awards with grace on October 11.
Principal Jim Salsbury and Assistant Principal Sean Gregg welcomed everyone and acknowledged the event's sponsors, former Grade 12 students who returned for the event, and award recipients.
Marley Weiss Hartley led in O Canada.
Gregg stated that the theme this year for EICS is ‘Rooted in Christ’ which is inspired by the words of St. John that I am the vine and you are the branches; bear much fruit and become my disciples. These powerful words remind us that all we do, we seek to root ourselves in Christ, through his words, acts of charity, and the sacraments, and the body of the church.
Mayor Tim MacPhee recognized the sponsors and congratulated the students.
After this, Assistant Superintendent Christina MacKinnon said at St. Mary’s School, they have not only strived for academic growth but have also nourished parts of the values of our Catholic faith; compassion, kindness, and service to others.
