As another school year comes to a close many Saugeen District Secondary School (SDSS) students received honours in award show fashion during the school’s annual Awards Assembly June 14.

The assembly was kicked off by the SDSS Brass Band and Saugeen First Nation Elder Shirley John and doled out awards to students who had excelled in one way or another.

Video complications of artwork, Honour Roll students, and retiring teachers all made the cut alongside a video that celebrated the SDSS curling team and their road to OFSSA in Fort Frances earlier this year.

Once all the awards had been delivered, graduating student Kent Ribey was named Commencement Valedictorian.
