Michael Stutzke High School Scholar-Athlete Awards banquet sponsored by the Play Treasure Coast Sports Commission. The organization seeks to recognize one male and one female recipient from all public and private schools across the Treasure Coast, and nominees for this award must be scholar-athletes who demonstrate leadership skills, exhibit strength of character and serve as role models for others on and off the playing field.

His community service involvement includes the Prayer Breakfast and Habitat for Humanity. 

    In addition to being a dedicated athlete at Saint Edward's School, Stovall's contributions to the classroom were as impactful as her contributions on the golf course, as she maintained her position on the Head of School List all 4 years and has won various subject awards for English, mathematics, and science throughout her high school tenure. During her athletic career at Saint Edward's, she played a vital role on the varsity girls golf team, being recognized as the Most Valuable Player all 5 years of her athletic participation, as well as winning the school's Athlete of the Week Award and being named several times to TCPalm's Fall All-Area team.

Athletics at SES

We build rapport with our student-athletes creating an atmosphere for success, and teaching the proper values, skills and strategies. A love of activity starts with the Physical Education program, which begins in our Little Pirates (PreK-3) programs. Students then progress to middle school team sports and eventually varsity-level competition in the Upper School. Saint Edward’s School fields 42 teams in 22 sports and enjoys an enviable record of success. Athletes with a range of abilities at all levels find opportunities to advance their skills and compete to their full potential.
