The prestigious Lady Williams Humanitarian Award for 2025 has been awarded to Therese Mathurin at the recent Christ the King High School Annual Graduation Ceremony held last Friday.
Ms. Mathurin exemplifies vibrancy and compassion, serving as a beacon of moral support and inspiration among her peers. Throughout her high school journey, she has demonstrated stellar leadership, serving on the Student Council for three years and earning the esteemed position of Deputy Head Girl in her senior year.
