On Sunday, May 17, 2015, one student athlete from Arthur L. Johnson High School was designated as the recipient of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association’s Scholar Athlete Award. The NJSIAA is an organization run by the state of New Jersey, who has a great tradition of honoring student athletes at a state wide function called the Scholar Athlete Luncheon. Over the years the luncheon, organized and run by the NJSIAA, has grown in size and has given out hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarship money.
These awards, which are presented to one student athlete from each school in the state, celebrate not only the athletic successes of our high school athletes on the fields, courts, and mats, but honors the countless hours that they spend in the classroom as well.
Arthur L. Johnson Senior Student Athlete Trevor McSorely was honored as the recipient from Arthur L. Johnson High School in Clark. Trevor had a stellar career at Arthur L. Johnson High School participating in soccer, basketball, and baseball. As a senior, Trevor was a starter on all three teams he played for as well as being a stellar student throughout his time at Arthur L. Johnson High School.
Gus Kalikas, Athletic Director at Arthur L. Johnson High School, had this to say about the event. “Trevor was an integral part of the success of our athletic programs at Arthur L. Johnson High School, allowing us to have success on the fields and courts in multiple sports. More importantly, he has been a model student athlete that did things the right way both in athletics and in the classroom. He is truly deserving of being named our recipient of the NJSIAA Scholar Athlete Award, and we wish him well as he embarks on his college career.”
