Northport Program Honored
Northport High School has been recognized as a champion school by the Special Olympics.
The recognition as a national banner recipient represents the work to expand Unified Sports and provide multiple opportunities for special and general education students to work together.
Schools selected for this recognition must meet 10 national standards of excellence
provided by the Special Olympics. These standards include specific parameters around
Unified Sports offerings, inclusive youth leadership, whole-school engagement, and
program sustainability. The application process to become a Unified Champion School also includes multiple recommendation letters from administrators, parents and students as well as photos and examples of ways the school promotes inclusivity. The district’s local chapter of Special Olympics also endorsed the school for the recognition.
An important factor in the school’s eligibility for this recognition was the addition of
Unified Bowling as an official Section XI sport. While the school had been running an
unofficial version of the sport for three years, the 2022-23 season marked the first as an
official offering.
