Academic excellence, leadership skills and an impressive work ethic have paid off for Leamington District Secondary senior Matthew Kenney.
Matthew is among a select number of Canadian high school students to be awarded a $100,000.00 Schulich Leadership scholarship and will be pursuing a B.Sc. in Chemical & Physical Sciences at McMaster University, after which he plans to pursue a doctorate degree. This is the first time a student at LDSS has been awarded this scholarship.
Matthew has demonstrated exceptional leadership in the school and community on issues related to environmental sustainability and food security and has focused his research on the impacts of chemical pollutants on the Great Lakes ecosystem. He will be graduating from the I.B. Programme with a 96% Grade 12 average.
The Greater Essex County District School Board, I.B. Coordinator Lisa Jeffery, LDSS Chemistry teacher Julia Dueckman and the entire LDSS staff and community are immensely proud of Matthew for this incredible accomplishment.
Best of luck and congratulations, Matthew!
