St. George's also congratulates Tony Whicker, St. George's very first dual-championship coach, for bringing home state championship trophies in both girls and boys soccer.

"I am very proud of the dedication of our student athletes as reflected in the success of our teams this year. At St. George's, we have often tried to emphasize the importance of success as a manifestation of commitment, determination, and effort. The legendary basketball coach, John Wooden, said, 'Try your hardest in all ways and you are a success. Period. Do less than that and you have failed to one degree or another.'  At St. George's, we work to emphasize this approach to success in athletics, academics and in all aspects of the program. I am proud of the determination and commitment of our student athletes this year and the many positive ways that this reflects their experience at St. George's." 

        – William W. Taylor, School President

"Our students and coaches have put a tremendous amount of hard work and energy into our current success.  It took a group (coaches and students) who were dedicated and believed that they could accomplish their goals.  This group of seniors truly defined what St. George's is all about.  We strive to have excellence in all things, and it is evident in our grades, leadership, sportsmanship, service, and accomplishments in athletics and life."

        – Brent Hill, Athletic Director
