Milken Community Schools is honored to be recognized for outstanding character and sportsmanship as the recipient of the 32nd annual Kenny Fagans California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section “Shake for Sportsmanship” award for the 2013-2014 school year.
Award recipients are chosen by member schools in their league based on the criteria of participation, enthusiasm, behavior at home and away games, and treatment of opponents and contest officials. Milken competes in the CIF Gold Coast League Delphic Division.
Says Milken athletic director, Barbara Iversen, “Our athletic administration is so proud of our athletes, coaches and parents for winning the CIF Sportsmanship award this year. We really stand by our mission statement to groom our student athletes to have sharp minds, kind hearts, and generous souls. They learn to win with humility and lose with grace.”
