(Dover, DE.) The Delaware Interscholastic Athletic Association (DIAA) Sportsmanship Committee has selected eight schools as recipients of the 2007-2008 “State Champions in Sportsmanship” award. This is the highest honor for sportsmanship that can be bestowed on any of the 93 member schools of DIAA. The schools are:
- William Penn High School, Colonial School District (11th consecutive year)
- Hodgson Vo-Tech High School, NCCO Vo-Tech School District (3rd consecutive year)
- A.I. DuPont High School, Red Clay Consolidated School District (3rd consecutive year)
- Tower Hill School, Wilmington (3rd consecutive year)
- Sussex Technical High School, Sussex Technical School District (2nd consecutive year)
- Concord High School, Brandywine School District (2nd consecutive year)
- Wilmington Christian School, Hockessin (2nd consecutive year)
- Caesar Rodney High School, Caesar Rodney School District
Last year, seven schools won the award and prior to that, no more than five schools had won the honor in one year. In the eleven years this program has existed, eleven different schools have won the award.
“The practice of good sportsmanship is one of the core objectives of education based athletics,” said Kevin Charles, executive director for DIAA. “Winning this prestigious award means sportsmanship has been embedded into the culture of these eight schools.”
All 54 member middle schools and high schools compete against a rigorous ten-point standard, not against other schools. Therefore, it is possible that there could be 54 winners annually. Requirements for consideration include:
- A written board of education policy on sportsmanship, ethics, and integrity in interscholastic athletics.
- A sportsmanship, ethics and integrity committee to coordinate the planning and implementation of a sportsmanship, ethics and integrity program.
- Presentations during the school year to coaches, athletes, parents, fans and support groups emphasizing the school’s philosophy on sportsmanship, ethics and integrity.
- A procedure for receiving, investigating, and resolving complaints dealing with sportsmanship, ethics and integrity.
- A Plan for dealing with special situations such as heated rivalries, overflow crowds and unruly spectators.
- A program for acknowledging/rewarding positive examples of sportsmanship, ethics and integrity.
