Iredell‑Statesville honors student scholars and winter state athletic champions
Summary
At the April 13 meeting the board recognized student winners from the regional math expo, district chess tournament, Battle of the Books and multiple state athletic champions in cheer, track, diving and wrestling.
The board recognized students across the district for academic and athletic achievements.
Academic recognitions included regional math expo winners from elementary, middle and high school categories and Battle of the Books top teams at elementary, middle and high school levels. The district also announced eight students invited to attend the 2026 session of the North Carolina Governor's School.
Athletics recognitions highlighted a Lake Norman High cheer team national finish and multiple individual indoor track state champions (e.g., Bryant Moore, 1,000m; Casey Dingman, 3,200m), diving champions and a wrestling state champion from Lake Norman High.
Quotes from the dais: "This year Iredell‑Statesville students represented two‑thirds of the projects at the regional math expo and brought home a first place award in every category," district staff member Kelly Henson said while recognizing winners.
Why it matters: Public recognition spotlights student achievement and serves as a community acknowledgment of academic and extracurricular success.
