“Good and gracious God, we gather here today with hearts full of gratitude to celebrate the achievements, dedication, and growth of the junior class of Canisius High School.

“We thank you for the many gifts that you have bestowed upon us, and for the families, teachers, coaches, mentors, and friends that have helped shape us along the way.”

Those words were part of a prayer by Nathan Jank ‘27 to begin our annual Junior Awards Ceremony in Scaccia Auditorium.

The occasion began with Director of Campus Ministry Fr. Chuck Frederico, S.J., blessing rings and pins that were distributed to our Class of 2027 and was followed by the presentation of several special honors by President Fr. David Ciancimino, S.J., Principal Tom Coppola ‘01 and special guests as well as the 2026 induction to Canisius’ Robert Bellarmine Chapter of the National Honor Society.

Among the many awards were these special presentations:

* The Billy Hartigan Scholarship Award, established in memory of the 2008 graduate, was presented to Mark John.

* The Mason Forever Scholarship, established in 2023 by the Monteleone Family in honor of the late Mason Sawyer Monteleone ‘18, was awarded to Gabriel Russell-Webster.

* The Richard J. Cobler Class of 1970 Scholarship was presented to Sawyer Kenerson.

* The Francis B. Jenkins Class of 1939 Scholarship was awarded to Luca Comaratta, Nathan Jank and Andrew Perry.

* The Patrick G. Kwiatkowski ’72 Scholarship was presented to Cole Skowron and Carson Kwiatkowski.

* The Donald P. Pinkel ’44 Endowed Scholarship was presented to Samuel Devlin.
