SPECIAL AWARDS
The Richard P. Bond Award: Dick Bond was New Canaan’s First Selectman from 1996 – 2003. While controversial at times, there is no question that Dick had a significant impact on the town. Today it bears dozens of marks directly attributable to him and his administration. One is our own Dunning Stadium, the building of which would have been abandoned had Dick not personally stepped in and revitalized the project. A great friend of New Canaan education, Dick got started in town politics as a citizen fighting for a school budget that was under threat of deep cuts. He firmly believed that education was New Canaan’s “secret sauce”. The award we give today in his name is intended to recognize someone who, like Dick, has made a difference. It goes to the graduating student, who during his/her NCHS career has had the greatest positive impact on NCHS – the student who, more than most, has made what is already a wonderful institution even better. Additionally, the recipient will have demonstrated strength in academics and in one or more non-academic areas.
- EDWARD DAHILL
The Henry Coleman Memorial Award: Henry S. Coleman was a former Dean of Financial Aide, Director of Admissions, and Dean of Students at Columbia University. While living in New Canaan for over 50 years, he chaired the Board of Education and was one of the founders of the New Canaan High School Scholarship Fund, serving on its Grant and Aide committee until his death in 2006. His lifelong passion was to ensure that every student had access to a good education. This fund, set up in honor of his memory, gives the award in his name to the student or students who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to helping others, but who also possess the character and skills of leadership that make them role-models among their peers.

The Walter DeTour Memorial Scholarship: The Walt DeTour Memorial Award is given to members of the girls varsity lacrosse and boys varsity lacrosse teams each year that have exemplified what Walt was all about – Teamwork, Unity, Group Excellence, and Sportsmanship. Serving many years as a leader, coach, and passionate board member within the youth lacrosse program in town, Walt DeTour could be seen perched at the top row of Dunning Stadium yelling his heart out, willing a team toward victory and making sure the referee knew a bad call when he saw one. Even beyond his children’s playing days he could be seen doing the same thing. To Walt, it was bigger than his children’s success – it was about a love for the game, a love for the town and a love for all kids. He taught that achievement in sport is group excellence and that every player’s first obligation is to her/his team. Walt taught us that on the lacrosse field, the sum of the whole is far greater than the sum of the individual parts. Equal to the beauty in winning there can be a beauty in losing. He showed each of us that genuine pleasure in sport comes through heartfelt participation and dedication to her/his team and teammates, rather than the pursuit of individual reward. The recipients here today embody these values fully. The reinforcement of these principles is critical to the program’s success and provides a constant reminder of what is truly important.
- CAITLIN HEVESY
- JACK HOELZER
The Kelly Devine Award: Given by the faculty of NCHS in memory of our friend, Kelly Devine, English teacher and Reading Specialist who was respected and admired by her colleagues and adored by her students.
