Goals

The SMHS Scholar Athlete Program is an objective of the athletic
department and its Booster Club; and a long-range goal to help
students achieve academic, wellness, and career-awareness success.
The objectives of the program are to:

? Highlight the vital partnership among scholarship, citizenship, and
  athletic participation.
? Recognize and reward SMHS athletic participants who have put
  forth outstanding effort as athletes, scholars, and school and
  community citizens.
? Inspire other students, through the example of Scholar Athletes,
  to become Scholar Athletes.
? Motivate East Deanery grade school students to become and
  remain Scholar Athletes at both the grade school and high school levels.

Criteria

To achieve the designation of Scecina Memorial Scholar Athlete, 
a student must participate in one or more of the following activities 
during the current school year and maintain a Scholar Athlete grade
point average (see definition below) of 6.00 or higher on the 8.00 scale:

? A freshman, reserve, or varsity athletic team (including managers,
  statisticians, and other official members)
? A freshman, reserve, or varsity cheerleading team (including mangers,
  statisticians, and other official members)

Students must also maintain positive citizenship status in the classroom,
athletic program, and as a member of the student body.

Students who quit or are dismissed from a team in the current school
year will be ineligible to participate in the Scholar Athlete program
for the current school year.

The Scholar Athlete grade point average (g.p.a.) is the average of
the student?s prior school year second semester g.p.a. and his or her
current school year first semester g.p.a.  Freshmen are eligible based
on current year first semester grades.  Transfer student grades, including
those from a junior high school that includes the freshman year of study,
are accepted from the former school for purposes of the SMHS Scholar
Athlete program.

Recognition

At the annual Scholar Athlete Mass and Awards Presentation, all Scholar
Athletes receive a patch for their letter jacket in recognition of their
outstanding achievement and determination.

Further recognition is given at the Scholar Athlete Program:

William E. Bevan Mayor's Award for Outstanding Achievement
in Academics and Athletics
 
Awarded to the top male and female Scholar Athlete from every
East Deanery grade school.  These individuals are selected by the
grade school principal or designee and must plan to attend Scecina
Memorial High School the next year.

Crusader Scholar Athlete Award
 
Awarded to the one male and one female Scholar Athlete with the
highest Scholar Athlete g.p.a. in each of the freshman, sophomore,
and junior classes.  The award is also presented to the two senior male
and two senior female Scholar Athletes with the highest cumulative
g.p.a.'s after seven semesters of high school.
