W. T. Clarke High School senior athletes and their families gathered to celebrate individual accomplishments and four years of hard work during the Parents and Booster Club’s annual Senior Athletic Scholarships and Awards Dinner. The forum recognized the contributions made by each senior to the community, both scholastically and on the playing field. During the course of the evening, 28 scholarships totaling approximately $10,000 were bestowed upon the seniors.
W.T. Clarke Athletic Director Josh Friedman stated that he was particularly proud of this group of senior athletes, and that it takes excellent coaching, caring and giving parents, and superior athletes to create a stellar athletic program. “Never quit,” he told the students. “Set goals and reach for the stars.”
Principal Timothy Voels also shared his appreciation for all of the work the athletes have accomplished and the strides they have made. “They have placed their influence on the tenor of the building,” he said. “They have made Clarke a better place.”
