CIAC Announces 2021-2022 Michaels Cup Award Winners

The CIAC proudly announces a list of 21 Connecticut High Schools being honored with a 2021-2022 Michaels Achievement Cup Award. Schools that are part of the CIAC’s Class Act program can be considered for the Michaels Cup Award. The Michaels Cup Committee recognized these exemplary athletics programs for their willingness to subscribe to the Class Act Sportsmanship standards, empowering students to take an active role in their school climate, and their continued support for community service.  These 21 schools have made sportsmanship a priority in their district. They will be formally recognized during the CIAC’s 16h Annual Sportsmanship Conference on November 17.

The Michaels Cup was created in the early 1980s as the brainchild of Roy Michaels, the owner of Michaels Jewelers, in an effort to recognize outstanding athletics programs.
