Eden athletics director highlights high participation and scholar-athlete success; two seniors share experiences
Summary
The athletics presentation said the district fields 55 sports, saw roughly 63% student participation this year and reported varsity teams averaged about a 94% GPA; seniors Hannah Pino and Bridal Mason spoke about leadership and teamwork benefits.
The athletics presenter (introduced as Mr. Iwanco) told the board the fall season was productive: the district offers 55 sports across levels, about 63% of students participated this year and every varsity team averaged above a 90 percent team GPA.
"Every varsity team for the first time since I've been here had a over 90 average," the presenter said, noting strong section and league finishes for cross-country, volleyball and cheer. He credited coaches, athletic trainers and transportation for supporting student success.
Two seniors addressed the board. Hannah Pino described running and team membership as formative: "Being part of a team at Eden has given me a 2nd family," she said, tying athletics to mental and physical health benefits. Bridal Mason emphasized life skills gained through sports—teamwork, time management and positive attitude—and thanked coaches for their support.
Board members praised the students' presentations and asked the athletics presenter to upload the slideshow to board documents for broader access.
