The following Points of Pride were awarded during the School Board formal meeting in September 2024.

TSSAA Girls Wrestling Coach of the Year

Each year, TSSAA selects top coaches from across the state who develop character and teach strategies for skill development and strategic thinking. There are approximately 6,000 coaches in TSSAA with over 100,000 student-athletes. Coach Doug Badon from Clarksville High was selected as the 2023-2024 TSSAA Girls Wrestling Coach of the Year. Congratulations, Coach Badon, and thank you for everything you do for the Lady Wildcats!

Perfect ACT Score

Cade Deterding from Rossview High School was named a 2025 National Merit Scholarship semifinalist. Last semester, Cade was also awarded for earning a perfect ACT score of 36. (He was one of only 0.3% of students across the nation to achieve this perfect ACT score.) This year, over 1.3 million juniors entered the program, and Cade was one of the only 1% of students selected as a semifinalist. We are all cheering for you, Cade, and look forward to your finalist announcement in the coming months.
