HCCSA Senior Caroline J. was chosen as one of 20 state finalists for the Wendy’s High School Heisman Award.
“For eight generations, the Heisman name has signified excellence, determination and prestige among college football’s elite. In 1994, the next level of outstanding achievers ensconced their names into the Heisman lore when the Wendy’s High School Heisman (WHSH) was created.
The WHSH program has set the standard for high school student-athletes, and gained tremendous prestige in its own right as the program combines the best of high school athlete and academic awards. Each fall, the WHSH recognizes the nation’s most esteemed high school senior men and women for exellence in academics, athletics and community/school leadership…
To date more than 188,000 high school students have represented their schools and been touched by the Heisman mystique. Of them, 181 have progressed to the National Finalist level, with 30 earning the designation of Wendy’s High School Heisman National Award Winners.”
Caroline J. is one of 1,020 State Finalists (20 from each state). From the 1,020 finalists, 102 State Winners will be chosen. These in turn compete for the National Finalist title, given to 12 students nationwide. One male and one female student will be chosen from the 12 to be the National Award Winners who will be honored during ESPN’s national telecast of the college Heisman Memorial Trophy presentation. Congratulations to Caroline for her outstanding commitment to excellence in academics, athletics and community service. Our prayers are with her as her name is forwarded in the competition.
