Eddie Connors Award Recipients

Awarded Annually to 8th Grade Athletes for Outstanding Character & Personal Development

Eddie Conners, a citizen of Terre Haute for many, many years, dedicated his life to the encouragement of young men to become good, clean athletes.  Practically every play field in the community was visited regularly by Eddie, and he would give freely of his time and advice to the young men who were interested in sports.  He was able to both encourage and inspire these boys to work toward improvement.  Today, many successful citizens in our community will freely admit that Eddie Conners has been a good influence in their lives.

The Eddie Conners Award has been initiated to motivate eighth grade students toward high quality development commensurate with their potentialities.
