WACO (January 9, 2012)”University High School soccer coach Mike Chapman is one of the 15 winners of the 2011 UIL Sponsor of Excellence Award, the University Interscholastic League announced Monday.
Chapman, the UIL said Monday, “has strived to make an impact in the lives of students on and off the field during his 20 years of coaching. Through team-wide community service initiatives like mentoring and tutoring elementary school students and visiting with the elderly, he has taught his student-athletes what it means to give back to their community.”
“Competition is the foundation of our basic educational mission,” Chapman said.
“By being competitive on the field, in the classroom and in the community, we feel we are developing well-rounded individuals.”
A panel of judges in the areas of music, athletics and academics selected the winners from a group of nominees submitted by school principals and superintendents across the state.
Winners receive $1,000 and a trophy in recognition of their achievements.
“The benefits of interscholastic competition and student performance are only possible through the hard work and dedication of sponsors, coaches and directors like these,” said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt.
2011 UIL Sponsor of Excellence Award Winners
Jeannene Abney, Denton Ryan High School
Jeannene Abney has sponsored UIL one-act play, poetry and prose competitions for the past 30 years. Her students have advanced to the UIL State One-Act Play Contest four times and received many individual acting awards in addition to two state runner-up finishes. As a sponsor for UIL poetry and prose competitions, her students have been awarded six state championships including multiple district and regional victories.
“The UIL spirit of competition has given my students multiple opportunities to experience success and to gain confidence and pride in their work and training,” said Abney. “Teaching the value of healthy competition as a life skill provides our students with the opportunity to understand what lies in store for them beyond their school experiences.”
Vivian Bennett, Tulia High School
For the past 10 years, Vivian Bennett has sponsored the UIL one-act play competition at Tulia High School. Her students have gone on to have many different career paths, from actors and make-up artists to engineers and lawyers, but they all credit Bennett with preparing them for life after high school. “As an educator, my major goal is to give students the skills to succeed in the world,” said Bennett. “Classroom work is vital, but I also believe that competition has a part in their lifelong learning process. Competing prepares students for careers and often introduces them to talents they never knew they possessed.”
Mike Chapman, Waco University High School
Head boys and girls soccer coach Mike Chapman has strived to make an impact in the lives of students on and off the field during his 20 years of coaching. Through team-wide community service initiatives like mentoring and tutoring elementary school students and visiting with the elderly, he has taught his student-athletes what it means to give back to their community. “Competition is the foundation of our basic educational mission,” said Chapman. “By being competitive on the field, in the classroom and in the community, we feel we are developing well-rounded individuals.”
Billy Dragoo, Austin High School
Billy Dragoo has directed UIL one-act play in each of his 22 years of teaching. In seven trips to the UIL State One-Act Play Contest, including a streak of five-consecutive appearances from 2007-11, his students have won two state championships, 29 best actor or actress awards and more than 100 all-star cast and honorable mention all-star cast awards.
“UIL one-act play is not a contest about winning, rather an opportunity to perform for an audience and a critic judge, and to return with experience and feedback that can help us hone our skills as theater artists,” said Dragoo. “If we can exit the auditorium with the knowledge that we gave our best and with an understanding that we can always improve, then victory is ours.”
Brett Farr, Lubbock Coronado High School
The Lubbock Coronado High School choir has won ensemble sweepstakes awards in 22-consecutive years with Brett Farr as director. More than 400 of his students have received first division awards in UIL solo and ensemble contests and many of his students advance to the Texas State Solo-Ensemble Competition each year.”The mission of competition is not to create winners and losers, but rather to inspire every individual to have high expectations for personal growth and achievement,” said Farr. “Through good competition that seeks to raise everyone’s level of understanding and achievement, we lay the groundwork for students to become musicians rather than just being in a music class.”
Eric Hindman, Seminole High School
In 19 years of sponsoring the Seminole High School choir, Eric Hindman and his students have earned 54 sweepstakes and 11 first division awards at the annual Concert and Sight-Reading Contest. In addition, Hindman had more than 60 students competing at the 2011 Texas State Solo-Ensemble Competition. “Competition brings out the best in all of us,” said Hindman. “It provides us with a ‘discipline’ of sorts, improves our efficiency and self-discipline and moves us closer to perfection. The UIL has an incredible history of high standards for our music contests, and for that, I am truly thankful.”
John Martin, Stockdale High School
John Martin has served 10 years as UIL academic coordinator for his school in addition to sponsoring several academic events like computer science, number sense and computer applications. He has taken a student or team to the UIL Academic State Meet in 12 of the past 13 years, winning two state championships during that time span. “My goal in UIL is not necessarily to win, but to prepare students to think logically and independently, to instill personal success and for them to continue using their abilities in the future,” said Martin. “I believe UIL
