This year’s Eagle Award winner is 8th grader Kaelyn Potter!

The Eagle Award recognizes those qualities in an individual athlete that St. John’s feels best exemplifies the goals of the athletic program at the school. It is much more than an athletic award. It’s a statement about attitude, effort and focus – both on and off the court/field. It reflects a commitment to doing your best no matter what the situation may be. It’s being a true student athlete. Kaelyn stood out this year, not only to our coaches and members of our staff, but to opposing coaches, officials, and athletic directors as well.
Congratulations, Kaelyn! 🦅 🏆

Today, we celebrate Constantine Valluzzo! ✨🎓💙
