Since 1994 the Dr. Parry Award has recognized Chatham-Kent student athletes who excel athletically and academically, while providing contributions outside of the classroom to the school and community.

Samantha Lozon, one of UCC’s finest, was selected by the Dr. Parry selection committee as the top female graduating student in Chatham-Kent during the June 15, 2023 awards ceremony.

Samantha has made the most of her years at Ursuline College.   On the court she contributed greatly to multiple LKSSAA & SWOSSAA championships in basketball, tennis and badminton.  In badminton singles, Samantha won two OFSAA medals – gold and bronze.

Within the school, she is part of the UCC United Alliance Club, the UCC Cares Club and leads as a Lancer Link leader with Grade 9 students.  She was also elected to serve as UCC’s Catholic Student Trustee for the St Clair Catholic District School Board.

These accomplishments are in addition to Samantha maintaining academic excellence with an average of 98.5% throughout her four years of high school.  

UCC is proud of Samantha’s Dr. Parry Award selection.
