Cardinal Léger Exemplary Student Award

The purpose of this program is to acknowledge and promote students to participate in the faith, academic, and extra-curricular life of the school community. In attaining the qualifying criteria, students are encouraged to be self-directed, life–long learners who integrate their faith into their daily lives.
