SPIRIT OF EXCELLENCE

Each year the Spirit of Excellence Award is given to six Wisconsin schools, one in each region, that demonstrate excellence in leadership development, sportsmanship initiatives, school spirit, and service to school and community. It is presented jointly by a selection committee consisting of members from WASC, Wisconsin Association for Middle Level Education, AWSA, Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association, Wisconsin Association of School District Administrators,Wisconsin Athletic Directors Association, and the Milwaukee Bucks. From the pool of regional winners, one school is selected as the state winner. 

Regional winners receive local recognition and a school banner. The state winner receives a trophy at a school assembly, which is filmed and televised during WIAA State Basketball Tournament telecasts—a true tribute to the excellence they have achieved. Our 2022 Spirit of Excellence winners will also be honored during halftime at a Bucks game on Monday, February 28, 2022.

To be eligible, schools must be a member of WIAA and WASC and submit a portfolio that demonstrates achievement in each of three key dimensions in a calendar year beginning February 1.
