2012 Little Scholars Applicants Announced

Out of the 114 All-American Scholar applications submitted from the Heart of America League, 55 came from Liberty alone! As a community we should be very proud of our Liberty students and the Liberty Public School District. Way to go future Jays and Eagles!!

Each year, the most academically accomplished Pop Warner kids compete for Academic All-American status. To be eligible, the participant must be currently enrolled in the fifth grade or higher and have a 96% or better GPA on their previous year’s report card. Each participant’s application is submitted to the Mid-America Region Pop Warner and scored on GPA along with an additional addendum noting any non-sporting activities and achievements to determine their selection to 1^st Team, 2^nd Team or Honorable Mention All-American. Additionally, the top 35 football players and top 25 cheerleaders per grade (plus ties) nationwide are selected as National 1^st Team or 2^nd Team All-Americans, announced each year on April 1^st.

Congratulations to the following Liberty Blue Jay football players and cheerleaders who, because of their exceptional academic achievement, have submitted applications with results to be announced in the Spring. They will each receive certificates from the region and will be invited to both the regional and national Little Scholars awards banquets.
