Students recognized for academics, athletics, and character

Last Saturday night, Campion students were celebrated for all the hard work they put in this year. Awards were given out for academics, sports, and even attendance. High achieving students received medals and pins. A few even walked away with $100 bills for having perfect attendance. It was an awesome night to recognize all the effort and dedication that went into making this year a success.
Each teacher took a moment to recognize students who had demonstrated superior skills in their subjects. Many students from each grade proudly received medals, pins, and certificates for their academic achievements.
One of the people acknowledged for the sports awards was Izhuchi Nwankwo, a junior, who broke a school record for most blocks in a game and tied with the record for most blocks in a season, a remarkable achievement that reflects his hard work and dedication on the court. Damaris Lopez Morquecho and EJ Woy received the athletes of the year awards, while Brayden Marroquin walked away receiving both the soccer and basketball MVP awards. 
Another proud moment came when Marcela Zuniga became the first Campion student to receive a special award from the Desmond Doss Foundation. This prestigious recognition honors her outstanding character and her selfless dedication to helping others. She was nominated by the staff for this award because of her strong character and the way she embodies the values of Desmond Doss. Along with the honor, she received a $1,000 college scholarship. “It’s important to be different, to stand out, and to reflect the character of Christ,” Marcela shared.”
