The Joe Childers Letterman Banquet
The eighth-annual Letterman Banquet (now called the "Joe Childers Letterman Banquet," after the man who created it), will be VIRTUAL, is here "live" on this page (as of Friday, June 5, 2020). It is a slideshow like the usual slideshow you are used to seeing at the banquet, except the descriptions for each team are on the screen on a slide, rather than being read. In addition, we have introduction videos at the beginning from Principal Dr. Chris Nichols, Dr. Major Wallace (JROTC), Athletic Director Matt Pratt, and Scholastic Director Scott Plaster. This awards presentation is FREE. Joe believed strongly that all four areas of the school (Athletics, Academics, Fine Arts, and JROTC) should be represented equally, and so we continue this innovative tradition under his name.
Awards for individuals on each lettering team are included in the slideshow (usually three per team). Students also get an Atkins Letter A for the first time they "letter" on a varsity, competing team, a patch with the name of the team for the first time they letter for a varsity team, and additional chevrons for each year they participate. While this banquet goes live on Friday, our virtual circumstances mean that you may not get all of your items right away.
SENIORS: Your trophies and patches will be available on the drive-thru graduation days of June 15 and 16. UNDERCLASSMEN: Arrangements will be made to get you your trophies and patches in the fall, when we physically return to school.
Here is the Program for the Event (this is the order of the Awards Slideshow, NOT the actual Slideshow, which goes live on Friday).
To view the Slideshow, you can also use the FULLSCREEN button (just like on YouTube). And you can use your Arrow keys on your keyboard to advance the slideshow (it is set to rotate automatically).
