Rotary Champions is an annual event presented by the Rotary clubs of the Pikes Peak Region. The awards ceremony is held to honor outstanding scholar-athletes from El Paso and Teller County high schools who have placed a high value on academics and leadership in school, community, and home.
At our annual awards ceremony, recognition is given to approximately 440 outstanding scholar-athletes from 39 high schools throughout the Pikes Peak Region. From this elite group, 24 nominees, each representing a CHSAA-sanctioned sport, are awarded a Champions Medallion. The top female and male scholar-athletes are selected to receive our Rotary Champion Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award, which includes an impressive Soaring Eagle trophy and a $5,000 college scholarship.
Since 1984, thousands of students have been recognized and over $190,000 in scholarships have been awarded.
