A prayer written and read by Clarence Funderburg '24 opened Tuesday’s Junior Awards Ceremony in the historic Scaccia Auditorium. The ceremony included several special honors and the 2023 induction to Canisius's Robert Bellarmine Chapter of the National Honor Society.

During our 153rd Commencement, several students were presented with special awards by President David Ciancimino, S.J., and Principal Principal Tom Coppola '01 in recognition of the students' character and academic performance. 

Evan Izatt received the Philippe B. Piedad Accolade Award.

William Oh '23 was honored as being among the exclusive group of National Merit Scholarship winners, one of many highlights of Tuesday’s Senior Awards Ceremony in the historic Scaccia Auditorium. 

The ceremony honored scores of members of the Class of 2023, which collectively has earned more than $19 million in college scholarships and grants.  

The 62nd Mr. Canisius was announced by principal Tom Coppola '01 during this morning's Senior Awards Ceremony.

“Please join me in a moment of silence after I finish reading the names of the people whose lives were stolen on May 14th, 2022.”

Hector Gitego ’25 read the names on today's morning announcements as CHS remembered the victims of the racist mass shooting in Buffalo that occurred one year ago Sunday.

The six 2023 Mr. Canisius finalists all had their photo taken with a faculty member of their choice during the seniors' fun-filled final days of school.

Here's what the student, and faculty member, had to say about each other.
