The first Everett School District Athletic Banquet was held in the Spring of 1962 and sponsored by Walsh-Platt Motors. Construction of Cascade High School was completed the preceding fall. There were 800 students in the sophomore and junior classes on the new campus. The first senior class entered the school the following school year.

With the opening of the new high school, the whole concept of high school athletics in the city of Everett would undergo a change.  In an effort to encourage continuing the existing high standard in athletics in both high schools, Walsh-Platt Motors (now Dwayne Lane’s Family of Auto Centers) sponsored the Athlete of the Year scholarship.

In September 1994, the Everett School District opened Henry M. Jackson High School, and the award was expanded to include all three high schools. Last year, we were pleased to uphold this proud tradition with support from the Everett Coaches and Extracurricular Association. This year, we are excited to continue this tradition with the support of Mill Creek Sports.

In April of 2021 we lost our beloved District Athletic Director, Robert Polk. Robert was a true servant leader who worked tirelessly to improve opportunities for students to succeed on and off the field of play. The Robert C. Polk Memorial Athletic Scholarship is awarded to outstanding high school athletes from Everett Public Schools who, in addition to their athletic prowess, also embody the personal attributes that made Robert Polk the leader he was: teamwork, sportsmanship and character.

We are excited to continue offering both the Mill Creek Sports Athlete of the Year and Robert C. Polk Memorial Scholarships.
