Gordon Diamond Award

The Gordon R. Diamond Community Service Award was established by Gordon R. Diamond's children. This is truly a beautiful way to remind our students of Mr. Diamond's outstanding contributions to our community and society as a whole.

This award will be given annually to one student at KDHS who best exemplifies the qualities of community service and philanthropy that have been an essential part of Mr. Diamond's contributions to society.

All graduating students at King David are eligible to apply to receive the award, however, as previously mentioned, only one student will receive it. Community service and philanthropy in both the Jewish and non-Jewish world will be considered.

Once a student is selected, he/she will be presented with the award at the annual KDHS Award Night. An integral component will be the recipient designating to which charity/charities they wish the monetary portion of the award be given.

All graduating students who have attended KDHS for three (3) years are eligible to apply to receive the award, however only one student will receive it. Applicants must be exemplary individuals who model the attitudes, values and ethics expected of a student in a Jewish school.

Consideration will be given to the number and difficulty of courses completed and to the extent of participation in the life of KDHS and the broader community.
