The CHAMP Awards were created by Greg Blatt, Founder and Executive Director of Coaches for Character. This is the fifth year that Charleston County School District will be awarding the CHAMP Award to eighty-eight 8th and 12th grade students. This award is designed to honor true “Unsung Heroes” who all too often are not recognized for their accomplishments. 

The selection process, managed by Coaches for Character and Charleston County school counselors, focuses on identifying and selecting students who often go unnoticed even though they have accomplished great things in their home, community, church or school. The criteria by which students are selected should be based on character, community service, academic effort, and overcoming adversity. 

If you would like to nominate a Charleston County 8th or 12th grader, please submit the nomination form below. All nominations must be submitted by Friday, February 20th, 2026. A CHAMP Awards Advisory Committee at each Charleston County middle and high school will choose two winners. All CHAMP Award recipients will be recognized at the CHAMP Awards ceremony this spring.

We are having a "Teachers are SOUPER" lunch honoring our hard-working teachers on Friday, February 6, 2026 just in time for the  Superbowl . You can sign up HERE to bring an item for the luncheon. Also see attached flyer for more information.
