Awards

At Helen E. Taylor School, we believe in recognizing the academic and social achievements of our students. Student achievement is recognized through a wide variety of academic, fine arts and athletic awards.
These awards are the highlight of our June year-end assembly. Throughout the year we recognize student achievement through our Shining Knight and Junior High term honour roll awards. Our June year-end Assembly awards include:
