Maroon and White Unable to Hold its Traditional Spring Ceremony, Honors Senior Athletes

Due to the pandemic and restrictions on gathering Maroon and White, was unable to honor the graduating senior athletes at its annual spring awards dinner. In recognition of their lost season, Maroon and White paid tribute to the athletes with banners of the senior athletes for each spring team which were hung on the back of the stands at the high school. Additionally, the Athletic Director and spring coaches met with the spring senior athletes to celebrate their high school spring sports careers on the turf or on Dean Field. The SHS Athletic Department and Maroon and White also prepared a pre-recorded video of the awards ceremony which was sent out to the SHS community on Friday, June 19, 2020.
