IESA Scholar Attitude Award Winners

The Illinois Elementary School Association (IESA) is pleased to announce the 2025 Scholar Attitude Award winners. A panel of judges consisting of coaches, athletic directors, principals, and officials, reviewed the applications and selected students representing 15 different division groups.
