Our alumni (affectionately called Old Girls or Old Boys) represent a staggering breadth and depth of accomplishments. As a community, they never really leave HSC and that’s where today’s HSC students benefit most. HSC graduates come back as speakers, mentors, volunteers, advisors and role models. They support the College through fundraising, enhancing our profile in their communities, and participating in many events. We are so thankful for our alumni and are happy we can demonstrate our appreciation in various ways, such as honouring them through some of the following awards. 

We also want to recognize our current students and their family legacies at HSC as this is a wonderful commitment that families make to both themselves and to HSC. 

Finally, through the generosity of donors and benefactors, HSC is able to offer merit-based scholarships to students with exceptional potential. These funds are dedicated to the recruitment of new students or retention of current students of the highest caliber and potential. We also offer an award to one graduating student each year to launch one of HSC’s newest Alumni into a distinct future of their own.
