A Romeo athlete will represent his community as the recipient of a prestigious scholarship.
Senior Steven Saliga has been named one of 32 recipients of the Michigan High School Athletic Association’s (MHSAA) Scholar-Athlete Award for the 2009-10 academic year, making him the third student in Romeo Community Schools’ recent history to earn it.
A total of 1,900 students from various school classifications applied for the scholarship this year. Applicants had to list their achievements in sports and extracurricular activities, have two letters of recommendation and submit a 500-word essay about the importance of sportsmanship.
