True to our mission, the Tacoma Athletic Commission facilitates an Athlete of the Month/Year program for high school student athletes in the Pierce County area. Funded by Columbia Bank, this program features a monthly luncheon where recognition is given to an outstanding male and female athlete. It encompasses all sports and focuses on the academics as well as athletic accomplishments. Athletic Directors, with input from their coaches, are asked to nominate a male and female scholar athlete from each of the 33 Pierce County High Schools. A male and female athlete are selected from those nominated and are honored at the Athlete of the Month luncheons; Fall (Sept. Oct. & Nov.) Winter (Dec. Jan. & Feb) Spring (March, April & May). Each nominated athlete is invited to attend the luncheon where they will receive a certificate, t-shirt and complimentary lunch. The Tacoma Athletic Commission also honors all State Champions at luncheons held throughout the year. Plaques and a complimentary lunch are provided for these champions. At the end of the school year the Athlete of the Month/Year committee selects the male and female Athlete of the Year. These athletes are chosen from the Athlete of the Months and State Champions that have been honored throughout the year. The Tacoma Athletic Commission hosts the Athlete of the Year Banquet where the Male and Female Athlete of the Year will be honored. This award comes with a $1,000.00 scholarship. If you have a son, daughter, grandson or granddaughter involved in high school athletics, you should consider joining the Tacoma Athletic Commission and help show your support through the Athlete of the Month/Year program.
