Valley Named Unified Champion School
AKRON – On Friday, Tippecanoe Valley High School was named a Unified Champion School. Valley is the first school to be named a Unified Champion School for the 2017-18 school year.
An award program was established to recognize schools that embrace partnerships and do exemplary work in the areas of student leadership, respect for persons with intel- lectual disabilities, inclusion, Unified Sports participation and fundraising to support the goals of Special Olympics.
TVHS sponsored activities that were planned, organized and administered by an Inclusive Leadership Team (Kris Walker’s Peers Class), that strives to do things with student with disabilities, not for them. The school participated in several activities designed around whole school engagement that promoted and encouraged awareness, respect and inclusion. The school organized and participated in an IHSAA Unified Track and Field meet. The teachers of TVHS also raised $1,500 for the Champions Together project.
