HHSS Recognizes Undergraduate Awards Ceremony

Haliburton Highlands Secondary School handed out awards and recognition recently as part of its undergraduate awards ceremony. The high school’s scholarship fund presents over 200 awards to the undergraduates and graduates. Eighty-five of those awards come from the Haliburton Highlands Scholarship Endowment Fund. Both individuals and organizations have contributed and the Endowment Fund continues to attract donations, often in memory of a loved one. The remaining awards are donated annually by businesses, service clubs and individuals throughout Haliburton County. Scholarship Committee Chair Melissa Stephens says the awards take into account far more than marks alone. CanoeFM attended the ceremony and spoke to two award recipients who were thrilled to receive recognition for their efforts.
