Whitmire Community School is extending a special congratulations to Alex Cromer, who was recently named our School Winner for the prestigious Wendy’s High School Heisman Award. Alex was chosen for her outstanding excellence in academics, athletics, and community/school leadership and will move on to the next round of judging to possibly earn the coveted National award.
The Wendy’s High School Heisman celebrates the achievements of the nation’s top high school seniors both in and out of the classroom. Just as the collegiate Heisman is known for being the highest award in college football, the Wendy’s High School Heisman award is recognized as the most esteemed award at the high school level because it encourages future leadership by acknowledging well-rounded students.
Alex was selected as a School Winner based on the following accomplishments: she is academically and athletically gifted (Winners must have a “B” or better average and participate in a sport.).
“These students are an inspiration to those around them and will honorably represent their school in the next stage of Wendy’s High School Heisman award judging,” said Archie Griffin, the only two-time winner of the Heisman Memorial Trophy and Wendy’s High School Heisman program spokesperson. “I’m proud to be a part of a program that honors young men and women who embody the spirit of the Heisman tradition of hard work, dedication and an outstanding record both on and off the field.”
Alex was selected as our School Winner and joins the ranks of nearly 55,000 applicants nationwide.
“On behalf of Whitmire Community School, we are extremely proud to celebrate the outstanding athletic and scholastic achievements of Alex with this prestigious award,” said Principal Joey Haney.”
