On February 1, South Kent nominated their first ever Cardinal of the Month, a new tradition shedding light on the students who demonstrate excellence athletically, academically, and in the community on the Hillside and beyond. The Cardinal of the Month initiative serves as a reminder for students to abide by the Trinity of Values in their everyday actions, ensuring that their prep school experiences prepare them for the obstacles after Prize Day.

The process begins by each coach selecting 1-3 students on their respective teams that have performed at a high level while displaying unwavering leadership, helping teammates reach their team’s collective goals. After the athletes are selected, each student is evaluated based on their academic performance throughout the month, gaining insight from respective teachers through quantitative and qualitative data. From there, a decision is made by administration and the communications department, picking a single winner.

For the first representative in January, Brock Potter was chosen as Cardinal of the Month. While tallying 7 points over a 7 game stretch, Brock was a role model in the classroom with A’s in two courses. His professors mention how Brock is a joy to teach, showing an innate ability to take instruction and run with assignments. We look forward to uplifting more student-athletes for their continued devotion to seeking knowledge and serving as ambassadors for the community at large.
