The Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame Washington-Greene County Chapter is pleased to announce its Scholar-Athlete award honorees for 2025.

Each year, the Chapter presents Scholar-Athletes in Washington and Greene counties with monetary awards and a certificate of accomplishment during its annual banquet. This year’s award recipients are Ella Richey of Chartiers-Houston High School (1st-$4,000), Luke Amon of Beth Center High School (2nd-$3,000), Andrew Palm of Trinity High School (3rd-$2,000), Abby Tucker of Canon-McMillan High School (4th-$1,750), and Kathryn Blickenderfer of Fort Cherry High School (5th-$1,500).

The award recipients will be recognized at the 2025 banquet, which will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday, June 8 at the Hilton Garden Inn, Southpointe.

Each nominee’s individual picture and brief biographical information will be featured on the Chapter Facebook page and website.

The process of determining our Scholar-Athletes consists of the Chapter contacting all 19 school districts in the two counties. Officials from the districts then can submit their selections and all requested information to the Chapter, specifically to the Scholar-Athlete Chairwoman, Tricia Alderson.

Those whose information is forwarded by the established deadline become part of that year’s Scholar-Athlete class.

This year 11 of the 19 eligible school districts participated in our program.
