The award is presented to schools that have developed proactive approaches in keeping sportsmanship in the forefront with their students, coaches, spectators and communities. This year marks the 19th year of the award.

“I believe it is very important to always think about sportsmanship and how you represent your team, the district and the Schuylerville community,” Athletic Director Heath Morris said. “I feel our coaches do a great job promoting and instilling the characteristics of good sportsmanship and we will strive to continue to display these attributes in the 2015-16 athletic season.”
