Impact

By officially recognizing the success of the New Palestine High School football team, SCR0039 underscores the importance of high school athletics in fostering teamwork, dedication, and school pride among students and the community. Such resolutions serve not only to honor student-athletes but also to reinforce the role of sports in education, recognizing the hard work and accomplishments of young individuals within the state.

Summary

SCR0039 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution that aims to formally congratulate the New Palestine High School football team for their remarkable achievement in winning the 2024 Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) Class 4A state championship. This resolution highlights the team's undefeated season, culminating in a decisive victory against East Noble High School with a final score of 56-26.
