The Athlete of the Month award goes to one female and one male athlete. It is given to an athlete who has passed expectations or had a good season. It is a way to honor athletes individually for their contribution to
their team. The process of being recognized begins with a recommendation to Mr. Dembowski or any member of the Athletic Council. Once recommendations are made, they are put into a Google form and the members of the athletic council vote. The athletes of the month for September 2024 are Sarah Silva and Nicholas Stanzione.
Sarah Silva is a senior on the girls’ volleyball team where she is a three-year varsity starter and captain. This year, Sarah is playing as an Outside Hitter.
