The Wendy's High School Heisman Award recognizes scholarship, citizenship, and athletic ability.
Schools can nominate students currently in their junior year.
Local Wendy's representatives also honor the 1,200 students chosen as State Finalists and the 102 students chosen as State Winners. Nomination packets are mailed in the spring to the high school guidance department, and the applications are due in September. State winners are announced in October followed by the announcement of the 12 National Finalists in November. The ceremony takes place in December. E-mail us at Mary Jo Patterson .
