Recognizing Student Excellence
Since the initial Commencement Ceremony, KCSS has presented various prizes, awards and bursaries to deserving students. Some of the awards are based upon academic marks, and others presented for special achievements. The awards have originated from families wishing to honour a loved one, others are donated by the school, local businesses, universities and various levels of government. All donors wish to either assist those in financial need or reward a high school career highlighted by hard work, academic achievement and community spirit.

Awarded to male and female students who have earned the highest and second highest averages in their best seven credits studied at the Gr. 12 level or in their best six OAC’s (Gr. 13) studied. Beginning in the 1977 the awards were presented to the top academic students regardless of gender.
