Milford High School Wins Prestigious Athletics Award

MILFORD, CT – Jonathan Law High School has been named a recipient of the Michaels Achievement Cup Award, according to a district statement.

The award presented annually by the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference (CIAC) to recognize schools that demonstrate outstanding achievement in sportsmanship.

The CIAC evaluates schools across various measures, including athletic participation, academic support, community service, and programs that promote leadership and character development.

“This honor is a true reflection of the incredible student-athletes at Jonathan Law who work hard to foster a welcoming, family-like atmosphere where everyone feels valued and included,” Thomas Drew, Jonathan Law athletic director, said in the statement. “We are so proud that our commitment to sportsmanship, teamwork, and excellence has been recognized.”

The Michaels Achievement Cup is awarded to schools that "go above and beyond in fostering a positive athletic environment, emphasizing not only success in competition but also character, leadership, and the overall student-athlete experience," according to the statement.

Jonathan Law will be recognized at the annual CIAC Sportsmanship Summit.

“This honor represents the collective effort of an entire school community,” Jonathan Law Principal Bryan Darcy said in the statement. “It takes collaboration between students, staff, and families to build an athletic culture that values character as highly as competition.”
