Next Story Champions both in and out of classroom Jeff Frank North County Times I'm continually amazed by some of today's high school students. So many of them are not just classroom stars, but also extraordinarily active in their communities.
Many students can reel off long lists of activities supplementing their academic accomplishments.
With some of the schedules these students must keep, it's remarkable that they can find time for their studies. Still, they do. Perfect examples are the local high school juniors honored this week by the San Diego Chargers as Chargers Champions. The students were recognized at a banquet Wednesday at the Hotel del Coronado, which featured Chargers owners Alex and Dean Spanos, linebacker Junior Seau, CBS Sports personality Bonnie Bernstein, National Football League Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and ESPN host Roy Firestone. When you bring out that kind of heavy artillery, it must be important.
