Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic District School Board Director of Education David DeSantis received a special honour on the weekend.
He received an Honorary Lifetime Membership Award from the Ontario Association of Parents in Catholic Education at the organization’s annual awards gala Saturday night in Kingston.
The award is given to someone who has contributed to the enhancement of Catholic Education through their profession, volunteerism
and passion as well as supporting the OAPCE.
OAPCE Regional Director and former ALCDSB Trustee Christopher Wright was also recognized as an Honorary Member.
DeSantis called it a honour to receive the award saying, “I strongly believe that the relationship between school, home, and parish is the foundation of who we are as a Catholic school system. Further, it is the voice of families that helps us to meet our goals and priorities of providing an optimal Catholic learning experience and ensuring students embrace their God-given talents.”
