Sponsored by the National Federation of State High School Associations, this award was established to recognize those individuals who exemplify the ideals of the positive spirit of sport that represents the core mission of education-based athletics. It is given in recognition of a specific act or an activity of a longer duration.
The goal of the NCHSAA is to solicit nominations from the membership and select a state winner. The recipient will be recognized at the Annual Meeting, and his or her application will be submitted to the NFHS for the national award. All nominees will receive a certificate of recognition.
Nominees can be a coach, athletic administrator, official, trainer, student-athlete, or others associated with the school’s athletic program.
