Joe Childers Scholastic Cup
In a move that will be a permanent honor to his life and legacy, NCASA recently renamed its top high school award to the “Joe Childers Scholastic Cup,” with a unanimous vote by its board of directors.
The Cup is given each year to the “top large and small high school” in the state based on accumulating points in a set of scholastic competitions, including the seven NCASA competitions and eleven “Cup Partner” competitions. Joseph “Joe” Childers was the principal of Simon G Atkins Academic and Technology High School from 2010 until he passed away unexpectedly on December 1, 2019. He also served as NCASA President from 2013-2016, which were formative years during the growth of the organization. Childers spent 41 years in the NC public education system promoting academics, and the last part of it, building the scholastic programs at Hanes Middle School and Atkins.
