CIAA High School Day Summary

CIAA High School Day Summary

The CIAA High School Day continues to be a popular event held annually during the weeklong tournament.  There were approximately 1200 students, representing more than 30 high schools in attendance for the half-day event. 

High School Day provided an opportunity for high school students to meet with CIAA conference schools’ admissions and financial aid personnel during the college fair.  Students also attended various workshops with topics on business etiquette, interviewing skills, and preparing for life after high school.

The event ended with an awards presentation where 30 students were acknowledged as having been nominated for one of three awards in the areas of “Highest Achiever”, “Greatest Improvement” and “Perseverance.”  The three students presented with plaques for excelling in those categories were Tremaine Gordon (Mooresville High School) for Highest Achiever, Whitney Sherrill (Mooresville High School) for Greatest Improvement, and Maressa Alston (Weldon High School) for Perseverance. 

A $1,000 scholarship was also presented to students at Phillip O. Berry Academy of Technology (Jalyssa Anderson, Davion Forney, Samuel Effinger, Brittany Harris-Davis) for their original skit based on the CIAA conference school of their choice.
