Instead of the traditional athletic banquet held to celebrate spring sports season highlights, Tallulah Falls School presented its varsity athletic awards during a virtual Awards Day on May 20. The school, which has both national and international students, released a video, uploaded to three platforms, that made it possible for audiences from around the world to view the program.
“Though our end of year athletic banquet was virtual, it certainly didn’t diminish our excitement to celebrate the accomplishments and honors our teams and athletes earned,” Athletic Director Scott Neal says. “The Tribe is proud of the energy, focus, and quality of performance our athletes demonstrated. The award winners represent GREAT with distinction and leave a legacy of leadership while role modeling excellence with a team mindset.”
