Eden athletics honored as Scholar-Athlete School of Distinction; senior QB describes community spirit
Summary
A school athletics presentation highlighted elevated participation rates and scholar-athlete honors; senior quarterback Brady Waring described what being a "Raider" means and the presenter noted a state record for touchdown passes in a recent 63-62 win.
The board heard a presentation honoring the district as a Scholar-Athlete School of Distinction and several specific athletic achievements from the past spring season. The presenter said the district fields 18 sports teams at various levels and reported that roughly 49% of students played a spring sport in recent seasons and that 374 students (about 63% of the student body) are participating in fall athletics.
The presenter celebrated varsity teams achieving "scholar athlete" status, defined in the presentation as 75% of each varsity team maintaining 90% or higher academic averages. Senior quarterback Brady Waring addressed the board: "To me, being an athlete here at Eden means more than just playing a sport...It's about representing my school with pride and giving my best effort on the field, in the gym, in the hallways, and most importantly, in the classroom." The presenter also noted a recent 63-62 football win and said the senior set a state record for most touchdown passes in a game with nine.
