Staples Scholar Athletes Honored

The Connecticut Association of Schools and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference have honored two students at Westport’s Staples High School as part of their annual Connecticut Scholar-Athlete Program. The program annually recognizes two high school seniors – one boy and one girl – from each member high school whose academic and athletic careers have been exemplary, whose personal standards and achievements are a model to others, and who possess high levels of integrity, self-discipline and courage. Taylor Ross and Jack Hennessy were this year’s recipients.
