Our Board’s District Awards

The Huron-Perth Catholic District School Board has many district awards. The ultimate success of our educational system is dependent upon faculty, students, parent(s)/caregiver(s), staff and the community. We believe that it is important to formally recognize the efforts and achievements of those whose presence and actions are foundational to our success.
