The award recognizes outstanding results in the character development of student/athletes and coaches by embracing the five core values of respect, responsibility, integrity, servant leadership and sportsmanship. Additionally, the award recognizes institutions that demonstrate outstanding involvement in the community, which results in positive character development through sport.

“It is such an honor to have our student/athletes, their coaches and the staff who support them recognized with this prestigious award,” says Jack Sullivan, director of Athletics at CCM. “The college places a very high emphasis on developing and supporting athletics who succeed both on and off the field, and we’re pleased to have Region XIX recognize those efforts.”

While the Titans have won many honors and championships over the years, this is the first time CCM Athletics has been recognized with this award.
