The Neil Rosa Athletic Program of Excellence
To recognize programs that are doing a superior job of conducting diverse activities with a focus on providing a safe and positive experience for all participants - including athletes, parents, and coaches. These schools demonstrate best practices within education-based athletic programming on an ongoing basis.
The objective of the “Neil Rosa Athletic Program of Excellence” is to recognize those New Jersey interscholastic athletic departments who are purposefully educating and supporting the mission of education-based athletics in New Jersey. Defining success based solely upon “wins and losses” or championship trophies miss the mark of what our interscholastic athletic programs should be targeting. The award is designed to honor and celebrate those school athletic departments that are attempting to shift the sports culture toward the genuine purpose of why athletics are a part of our school and community.
