Senior Athletes of the Year:

We are recognizing our senior athletes of the year. These individuals were voted on by our high school head coaches and had to participate in good standing on at least two school-sponsored athletic teams. These award winners not only are evaluated by their previous accolades received, but most importantly by their ability to represent our school with their positive leadership, quality citizenship, extreme commitment to the school and athletic programs, and strong work ethic toward making our athletic programs better here at Rockford Lutheran High School. The two individuals we are honoring are the epitome of fine Christian people who have influenced their coaches, teammates, and classmates.

"...Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ."  1Corinthians 11:1
