DC Everest students present 'Carry the E' athletic culture and community service
Summary
Seniors from the district's 'Carry the E' club described an athletic culture that emphasizes winning, inclusion of special-education students, and community service projects such as support for Evergreen Bike Park and a ribbon-cutting event.
Students from the district's 'Carry the E' club described how their athletic culture is intended to build leadership and connect athletes to the broader student body. Cooper Ritchie, a senior who plays baseball, described mantras including the expectation that the program "put[s] in a lot of time into our craft, and we expect a winning result."
Caden English and other student leaders described inclusion practices, such as sitting with a special-education student at lunch to ensure inclusion, and community service projects including supporting the Evergreen Bike Park and helping with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The students said the program focuses on role-modeling leadership from upperclassmen to underclassmen and connecting athletes with nonathlete peers through events like homecoming and pep rallies. Board members thanked the students and recognized former DC Everest athletes in attendance.
