News and Announcements

Once the playing season is over, the scholars season continues as the scholar-athlete can be selected to the 1. Local Level - Mid-Florida Conference Scholars, and/or 2. Regional Level - Southeast Scholar and/or 3. National Level - National All-American Scholar. These scholars had to be in the 5th grade; had to have over an 96% average on the 2006-2007 report card and has to participate in activities in and out of the school - community activities, volunteering activities, received special awards at school, etc. It is not easy to be even eligible for the Scholar program, much less be selected to a "team". As the levels go up, of course, the competition is more because the target area is ever increasing. By the time the scholars are placed on First Team National All-Americans, they represent the Top 1%!
But, we have some exceptional Panthers who have represented Azalea Park proudly serving as our Scholar-Athletes.

 
We are so proud of our Scholars!! Congratulations to the scholars and to their families. It is quite an honor.

 
1. Mid-Florida Conference Scholars First Team:
Connor Ensley (5th), John Irwin (5th), Daniel Cheney (7th),  Jessica Santa Maria (8th)
