Chronicle STAR Athletic Recognition Awards
“I’ve got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.” – Larry Bird
Tonight was Citrus County’s premier student-athletic event, the Chronicle STAR Athletic Recognition Awards. Approximately 70 student-athletes from public, charter and private schools were honored for their accomplishments in the 2021-2022 school year.
Congratulations to all the student-athletes! Thank you to the families and parents who support and sacrifice for these young people. Thank you to the coaches and athletic directors who help to bring out the best in our student-athletes both in athletic competitions and in academic successes.

Consortium of Florida Education Foundations SAC Panelist
What an honor it was to be a panelist for the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations at their Strategic Advisory Council. These are an impressive group of professionals and stakeholders from throughout Florida and the nation helping to assist in supporting our schools through our Education Foundations. We shared and collaborated about meeting the needs of our students, schools, and community
ies. I spent time bragging about our own local Citrus County Education Foundation and our community partners and the work we do together for our Citrus County students and schools. It was clear Citrus is a positive model around the state and nation.
